#1: best way to remove sheared wheel nuts?? Author: joshe93, Posted: Thu May 16, 2013 12:23 pm ---- I wanted to change the back discs and pads on my 206 xsi came to undoing the locking wheel nut with the proper socket for it and the head completely sheared off of it! Any ideas how to get this out, the brakes really need doing..

You might find you have enough stud to get mole grips on to unscrew it.
The only other method I can think off would be to drill down the centre of the remaining stud and use a stud extraction tool.

Is there a head left on the bolt? If there is they will make a socket turn it with force or, if there's only the stud left they could tack weld a bolt on to turn it. Hope you get it sorted

I had 2 wheels that had the locking nut head come off! The only way of removing them was with a drill and drilling the bolt off!

If its a locking nut then it won't do it unless its a monkey metal pug one

#12: Re: best way to remove sheared wheel nuts?? Author: 14hdi, Posted: Fri May 17, 2013 2:29 pm ---- Bend the wheel to stretch the wheel nut then put it flush to the car and it should be looser.
