i was trying to take my tire off my blaster and i striped the the bolt out really bad.. then i found a standerd siz socket that seemed tighter after i stripped it out with the metric one and it stripped with the standerd size too:mad: should i just cut it off or what?? i tried my friends gator socket thing-a-ma-bob and that didnt even work:ermm:

hmm well first off you should have used a metric size that fit perfect. now you basicly have a rivit holding your tire on..


:devil thats gonna be a pain. as for getting it out:huh :huh

Take you a hammer and a big flat head screw driver.
Wedge the screwdriver between the nut and the rim.
Lightly tap the screwdriver 4 or 5 times.
Then try to take them off. Should be much easier.
Put some grease on those things before you put them back on!

i just took mt dremel and cut the end of the stud off.. it came off but it still wasnt easy... as far as using a vice grip, that would work good on other nuts and bolts but not very good on a tire since its hard to get into a rim

If you are pretty decent with a drill get a bit the same size as the stud. Take a center punch and make a mark on the ceter of the stud for a good starting point and then drill it all the way to the rim. The only thing left that will be holding the nut on is just the mere threads.
