I've been using a rubber hammer but I suspect I need to be more brutal. ;-) Put a piece of radiator hose over the nut wings and use a BIG hammer. Or else you can make a tool that goes between the wings and tighten them with a wrench. And yes the nuts tighten in the rolling direction ie, there are left and right hand nuts. Tom -------------------------------------- Date: 6/21/96 1:06 PM To: T Wiencek From: Larry Bugbee I have an old, badly rusted Alpine Series V that I use to feed parts to my other two. My problem is that its wire wheels are secured by knock-off hubs that I'm unable to budge. I've been using a rubber hammer but I suspect I need to be more brutal. ;-)
First question: Which direction to remove the hubs? I've been trying counter-clockwise but I heard somewhere that the direction might depend on which side of the car... but I'm not sure.
Second question: Besides trying to get some liquid wrench in there, might you have any other suggestions?
Last question: Who is the sysop for this list? I'll be moving soon and will need to inform someone of my new email address. I didn't write it down. :-(
My thanks,
Larry
