Old trick...

1 - Cut 2 X 2cm squares of chamois, make them just slightly damp.

2 - Find a socket that is about 1mm larger than required (it should just slip over the lock nut).

3 - Place Chamois square/squares over front of socket.

4 - With a rubber mallet (preferable) push the socket and chamois over lock nut (use some force)

5 - insert breaker bar and turn. As you turn the chamois will bite into the lock nut grooves.

PS - you may need only one piece of chamois or maybe three. Depends on the socket....

Tried that didn't work. I ended up bashing a smaller socket into the end of it which pushed metal up then bashed a bigger socket. The metal I flared out filled the gaps n got them off prick of a job

Sounds nasty :wacko:

thinking i need to buy new coilpacks,

if anyone has a good set for a neo 34 which i can swap into my engine for 10 mins, happy to pay you for your time.

worth testing before shelling out $600 for new splitfires

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
