Here some advise: Try and use a socket that is smaller than the rounded off end and tap it on with a hammer. If you have room around the nut and rim, try fitting a socket on the outside of the nut (it helps if you can use a 1/2" drive socket for added leverage). Make sure the socket is on tight or it will slip out. If that doesn't work, maybe use a small chisel and split the thing or try grinding one side off. Either way, it's a pain. PTD |
