The blatant trolling aside, when i first signed up to some forums a while back i get a bit fed up with the long term users response to newbies of " use the search". It wasn't always in the most polite way and some forums search functions would bring up 1000's of responses for you to trawl through.
Now i've been on here for some time and seen it become bigger and bigger i find it just as tedious when the 2 busiest sections are filled with "what lift" and "biggest tyres on a standard truck" and "wheel wobble" etc etc so on and so forth ......... Ive said in the past that i like the site not being bogged down with rules and moderation but would it be sensible to have a sticky of " before posting/asking a question" or a FAQ section with links to the appropriate threads.?
hi dont want to sound stupid but how do i remove my spare wheel just tried it has 2 normal wheel nuts on and a barrel type thing with 3 holes in the end like some sort of lock i wasnt given any sort of tool or key when i bought the jimny so i,m a bit stuck cheers
Sounds like a locking wheel nut
Check the glove box or where the spare wheel is for the "key" it looks like a socket
If not a good pair of mole grips ifnit isnt an alloy wheel
best of going to halfords n buy a lock nut remover it comes with 2 sizes i had the same problem,then ul av to buy some lock nuts so no one can pinch ur wheel,ther about a tenner saves messin trying to find the right key to fit yours,they have a reverse thred that cuts into the nut grips and then unwinds ur nut simples,but dont tell any robbing buggers.thats if u cant find the key.
I dont think the halfords tool will work with this type as they are closed end , if they are steel wheels you wont have a problem getting some mole grips on the offending nut
i had the plastic cover on the steel wheel so you couldt get in with owt n that one was a closed end.i think it was on hear were someone told me about them i think,as i had the same problem.
