How not to remove a locking wheel nut

[dirtytorque 0]

Hey, I'm an American.

 

learn something new every day. :)

 

Yep, I'm from Lakeland in Florida. :D Have no desire to go back there.... :lol:

 

the sunshine state?!!

I bet Bury St E's much nicer. :)

Bury St Edmunds is a whole lot less crowded for sure. :lol:

 

It's pretty cool that if I wanted I could just go back there whenever. I've got family all over the place there too. My Dad lives in California. 8)

 

That part of my life is just such a stupidly distant memory now though. England is definitely where I would call home. And I've always been grateful that I was educated in this country.... Even though I wasn't paying any real attention.... :lol:

Cool SonicRiot!

I must say most Americans I have met personally are really great guys. Most, I know were at University in St Andrews.

The American students were appalled at the American golfers over visiting with tartan trousers, tartan jerseys the lot! They did look ridiculous.

 

We do a dis-service to our education system, which is very good, and should be grateful for!

 

However, that guy removing the wheelnut must be seeking attention somewhat.

 

I do remember a similar nightmare scenario when replacing the crankshaft bolt on the valver - the bolt broke when undoing it. Basically I managed to get into the centre of the stuck stud and drilled a small hole through the centre (2mm drill)- larger drills just burned - it is a hardened steel. I used a small set of diamond encrusted dremel bits - bought for £7 from a fleamarket. I thought they would be useless, but taking my time with the dremel - light pressure, I cut slots through the broken stud, and then collapsed it and then removed the faulty parts.

Anyone bad mouthing the education system here should spend a week in an American school. They'd soon shut up and appreciate what they've got.
