If you still intend to use the nut then peel off the shin cover, there is a size 17 nut under. That cover made the nut size 19 2 Likes |

Two ways... 1. Use a more gripping spanner e.g those with 32 teeth instead of the regular 8 teeth spanner 2. Dip the edge of the spanner in a wet or muddy sand to reduce the friction 1 Like |

Timagex: You get a new wheel spanner or borrow another wheel spanner from a flashy car that has not been used. It will grip even a round bolt firmly if you are lucky. If that doesnt work, buy cold bottle water and pour on the bolt if it is still hot from previous driving...when the bolt is cold enough (ice block preferred) that your own wheel spanner might loose it. For me what I did was to drive home and wait till 6:30am in the morning when the bolt was very cold and my wheel spanner was able to unscrew it. Conclusion, it's a temperature game. If you cant find cold water or ice, heat from a panel beater can also do the magic. 2 Likes |

The hexagonal shape is still there so use a better spanner. There a Type with better grip. |

The Bolt is worn. Most times na gburugburuburu. Last resort is to get a welder to cast another good bolt of same size on the bolt,this way with the wheel spanner,the bad one can easily be unfastened while turning the welded one. Then you can get a new bolt to replace it. |

tranxo: Even with this, some will not grip. To avoid such situations have tools like Torque wrench in your car. It is not that costly |

Timagex:/ Add some pieces of binding wire to the wheel spanner and hopefully it will provide enough grip loosen it. Conversely, look for a welder to assist in weld and loose. Most importantly, do periodic inspection of emergency items in your car--spare tire, wheel spanner, jack, etc. / |

Charmingrascal:What is the use of a torque wrench when the teethes of the bolt are all worn out and damaged? 2 Likes |
Re: Experienced Drivers, How Do We Solve This Kind Of Tyre Issue? by princefunm: 8:41pm On Sep 27, 2021 |
Timagex: Its very simple. Well...for this kind of emergency you would ideally need to have some tools handy You'll need to have an appropriately sized impact socket with an accompanying breaker bar. But lets assume all you have is the regular cross spanner. What you want to do is this: 1. find the side of the spanner that's slightly smaller than the bolt. 2. Using a hammer or something sufficiently strong, you'll need to force the spanner to fit the bolt. This is why you ideally need an impact socket. The socket can take the beating. But for the spanner that side will probably become useless afterwards 3. You want to make sure you force the bolt into the spanner all the way in. This will give it enough grip. 4. No after you have satisfied yourself hat there is enough hold on the bold you want to gently hit the spanner counterclockwise to unscrew the bolt. 5. This shoudl unscrew. Unscre it till its just enough to allow you to use your hand to unscrew the rest of the way. 6. Now this time, you want to hit the spanner up and down to break the hold so that the spanner can come off the bolt. 7. Once you have removed the spanner, unscrew the bolt the rest of the wsy with your hand 4 Likes |

I think the more important question is how to ensure this doesn't happen again. Simply replace worn bolts, and this does not apply to tyres alone. A few months ago, I kept noticing a high pitched whine with every hard turn. Took the car to a mechanic and he discovered a worn bolt/boring was the culprit. 1 Like |

A spanner +/- wet sand Chip off the edges till you get a grip. Will never consider welding.. Can lead to a fire accident - sparks and a car tank full of petrol are not best together. . |

princefunm: This method will probably ruin the spanner afterwards, but I guess it's something to try if there's nothing else to be done. |

RedEnergy:I actually had such experience one time I was driving a tokunbo car from Lagos to the east,one of the Tyre blow in no man's land and the wheel nuts has rusted tight and can't loose,I have to drive it like that to a safe place condemning Tyre and rim,I don't care about that my life is more important than Tyre ,next time if I have to drive a tokunbo car from Lagos I make sure the whole wheel nuts are well oiled loosed and tighten again. 2 Likes |
