do you have the packaging for the lock nuts?

if you do it should have a code on there somewhere so that you can get replacement socket.

if you dont u will have to use an angle grinder to cut a slot in the nut and then get a chisel and hammer. put the chisel in the groove that is in the lock nut and hit it with a hammer to turn it.

other option is to weld a bar to the nut to turn it.

hope that helps

mmmm..

nah i dont have the package..

shit aye..sounds alot of work,, damnn, but nah thanks dude for the advice, so after i get the nuts out, where can i replace then? just rock up to anything wheel tyre shop get a new package i guess hehe

cheers

Hey guys, i lost my special tool to unlock a nut of the wheeel, therefore i cant even change tyres...

please advice...

Someone who knows what they're doing can remove a lock-nut in about a minute.

You just need to find a socket small enough that it needs to be hammered onto the nut, and fits tight enough so that you can turn it as normal.

Cheers :ermm:

places like bob jane actually put the lock nut code with your details in the computer in case you ever lose it. Of course thats about all BJ is good for. Try going back to the place you bought them if possible and seeing if they still sell it.

(ps when you get a new set make sure you write down the code and brand on your service records/similiar)

Put up apic of your locknut ( a clear close up) or P.M. a pic to me and i'll tell you the best way to get them off ( via P.M.). I dont want to put it up on the forum for obious reasons..

What the other guy said............just get a socket about the right size and smash it over the locknut with a hammer so that it fits tight, then undo it. Its not that hard.

A mate of mine went to beaurepaires and they charged him $50 to get them off. Would've been a lot cheaper to do it the other way.

Go to a tyre place and they'll get em off easy.

If you wanna do it yourself buy some el-cheapo softest metal you can find socket that'll go over it and smash it on with a hammer. Use that for the rest of the wheels. Playing with really big screwdrivers can do it as well.

Just drive your car to the dodgiest looking suburb in town... kick back in a deck chair a good 50m or so away, crack a beer and wait. Some locals will come along and have them off in a jiffy!

...important to stay alert though... so not TOO much beer... (boy that caught me out once)

    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
