ask for a wheel nut extractor. when you use it, since you say without air tools, you’re going to have to push hard as a mofo towards the nut, while turning to loosen. or if you want, you can pay $50 at CT and have someone do it for you… ---

Fucking Brutal dude. Keep an eye on kijiji. A buddy of mine found the bitches that jacked his wheels and brakes through there. Called them up to arrange to buy em back. He has a restricted forearms license. Showed up early and had his pimped out special ops M4 and Sig-Sauer 9mm in his trunk. Left the lids open in the cases. Lolz. He got his stuff back and a good laugh. ---

Check princess auto…that’s where I got’em last…it’s pretty hard to get the socket off the nut after…and I’m guessing you’re out somewhere far from a shop…so buy four of those sockets.I think it’s like $6 a socket or $20 for a pack of three in 17,19,21mm [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/breaking-wheel-locks-with-no-key-or-air-tools/129028.md?page=2)
