Have you got some sort of reward card at your local hospital? A bit like a Nectar card?

Or do you just have a wing named after you?

[Dum-Dum]

What, Again?

I opened up this thread thinking some newbie had dug up one of your many injured threads from last year.

Anyway hope its not too serious. Glad I'm not top of the tree for injuring myself again now.

Get well soon.

[cully]

all xrayed wait for the verdict now!

Official hoonigan? More like official liability. There should be a compulsory competency test for over 60's to use tools...

[cully]

well im back

basicly bad bruising nothing broken

was told MTFU and use a bigger hammer next time!


and what was i doing!

trying to remove a locking wheel nut bolt with the hammer on socket method

have just got the bastard off by drilling it through the head to release the taper

brand new genuine locking bolts too fuckin rubbish

Pug lockers are shite! The splines are too thin and made of cheese. They are the first thing that comes off any 306 I buy cos otherwise you only find that they are f*cked when you need them off in a hurry.


Did tightening the other 3 nuts up before trying to loosen the locker not work?

nope didnt work
but i did remove the other 3 before killing the 2nd key on the last bolt
luckly i had a few sharp drill bits and was able to drill into the head to release the taper grip

Orignals are pants. I have a full decent set for sale if you wish . As with dum I take them straight off

Unlucky

I broke / cracked a rib last weekend whilst refitting a sump on the alfa last weekend!!

Haven't had a proper nights sleep all week, just got to rest it as I'm driving 1600 around Europe at the end of the month

[cully]

Pictures or it didn't happen :p

i have a video of what i was doing but split the socket on the first atempt

oh wait its under the cctv camera

How tight was that locker? I actually like that style, never had a problem with mine on cyclones!

Yet every single time I get the ones with the 3 studs the bloody studs break.....

Still, could be worse....Vaux use an 'anti-tamper' locker, which means the head has a ring around it that spins so you cant hammer a nrmal socket on....brilliant idea for when they get stuck!
