Hello car lovers. I hope this Monday was fruitful? So, I had to remove a car Tyre today and in the process, I discovered that the wheel spanner could not grip a particular wheel nut. I later discovered that, the edges of the wheel nut has worn off. It took the intervention of a professional vulcanizer to get it off.


The question is, in cases of emergencies where professionals are not available, how can worn out wheel nuts be removed?

You’d better go round your four tyes right now and check all your nuts. There might be another nut that’s about to run loose, worn out or go haywire and leave you stranded at a bad corner one day soon if you’re not proactive today.

Your wheels and nuts are very important safety aspects of your vehicle. Don’t play with your nuts. As a man your nuts are your legacy.

If you inspect your car often, you will notice wheel nuts that have become worn out. Buy and replace those. So that you don't discover them in an emergency situation.

Am I still the one that didn't understand the question?

It cannot. That is why preventative maintenance is important. You can easily assess the state and condition of wheel nuts when undergoing brake pad replacement or wheel balancing. Also make sure your wheel spanner fits perfectly or else the wheel nuts will experience wear and tear.

Put some sand inside the wheel spanner and then fix the wheel nut inside. The sand helps provide better grip for the worn nut.

. The wheel spanner is of the right size sir. But, it's been long the Tyre came off.

it's a normal thing, any worn nut or screw you pour sand carefully then put the wheelspanner or screwdriver. But it's not advisable to put the worn part back cos it might work twice but the trick hardly work trice.
