hey guys,

putting my two inch lift in L series car and have realised that some of the nuts are rounded.

anyone got any ideas as to how to get them off?

cheers,

Angus

If you can find a six sided or splined socket you might be able to bash it onto the damaged nuts and turn them. Failing that, you can grind a couple of flats onto the nuts and get a good shifter onto them.

sometimes access allows bigger nut to be welded onto offender

use nut splitter. or cut them off with cold chisel. cold chisel is pretty quick.

First to try would be a 6 sided socket followed by knocking on a smaller socket (cheap one and usually an imperial size), then a pair of vice-grips and lastly a cold chisel
