Hello all,
To change the wheel bearings I had to take the wire wheels on the front of my old 4/4 off today. As always after a longer period of driving the nuts were tighter than tight and to losen them took a lot of hammering on the crude and impractical spanner. I hate to do this because there is always the risk to hit the rim or the spokes(and the heavy lead hammer is ruined afterwards too, as are the octagons on the nut).
I wonder if there is a better method or a better device to get wire wheel nuts without ears off. Any hints/tips?
