Lock Nut by harveyzone

Lock Nut

Doodle a day #61: I tried to get a wheel off my car today, to investigate a knocking sound. The normal wheel nuts came off ok, but the lock nut would not budge. I think the last person to remove it, probably a tyre place, had over tightened it. I ended up damaging the special socket, making it useless, and the wheels impossible to remove!

This was, of course, followed by several visits to garages to get it sorted, and I now have four fully removable wheels.

I am still no wiser as to what the offending noise is.

This is a doodle of the offending socket, the centre 'code' twisted, and the outer split..
