Security wheelnuts ! PAH!

[480forfun]

My 480 ES has locking wheelnuts fitted - these are original VOLVO parts..Got a puncture yesterday, OK no problem I thought, I'll just whip the wheel off...EXCEPT...the damn wheel nut broke<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :( --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /frown.gif ALT=":("><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>I couldn't get the wheel off..luckily the puncture was of the slow type, so I blew the tyre back up again, took the car into my work (I work in an engineering company) and "persuaded" the nut loose with a large lump hammer and chisel. Sod this for a lark I thought, I'd rather remove the other nuts than be stranded somewhere unable to remove a wheel. Guess what ? The other rear nut cracked as I tried to remove it too..<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START >: --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... ns/mad.gif ALT=">:"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Bloody useless things!! I am not going to attempt to remove this one - just take it into a dealer and let them do the needful.. <p></p><i></i>
