Removing Rays Wheel Nuts

[Pumped]

Any one got tips on removing Rays Nuts without scratching them?

[bennjamin]

cover the lugnut in paper sticky tape first (masking tape)-
then use a DEEP/LONG 19mm socket to remove. Do it slowly and dont use a airtool !

[Steer^Gimic]

wow. how could you be bothered doing that everytime!!

[shadou]

you can alternatively buy a set of sockets that are suppose to protect your wheel nuts from scratches and the likes, I think bursons or even super cheap auto stock these.

Thanks for the Replies!

was curious if such sockets existed! definately something id like to look into

[shadou]

I haven't used them but if you do buy them keep us posted :D

they dont sell at supercheap haha

y dont u cover the nut with a thin rag and then place the socket over it?

[shadou]

I'll try and find the catalogue where I say the sockets for sale in and post it up, it wasn't expensive if I remember correctly

yes as Ben said. do it slow, no air tools. :thumbsup:

cafefully enuf, there shudnt have any scratches. it takes time, takes me roughly an hour to do a set of 20, no scratch.

the rag will usually b torn apart due to the reletively sharp edge of both the lug and the socket. try it, u'll find out :)

how about a fairly thick rag and 1mm bigger socket? hahaha

[STTICH]

Yeeeerp...he's right. I slipped and jawed myself...

You'll likely hurt yourself or the car, so it's not really a good idea :(

[Pumped]
