New brakes on the L200, how hard can it be?
Barely touched the bar and the locking key disintegrated. Not saying the lad who fitted the rear tyres abused the key but he had no issue removing the rears
Tried welding a nut on, didn't work but ive never had much luck with wheel nuts, other nuts bolts and studs yes, wheels no.
I used a grinder and a cold chisel to remove the security ring and a reverse thread extractor. Spent 30 minutes looking for my impact gun to remember it's in Bradford
The offending item
Had some spare nuts as I wasn't planning to refit them
Worth it in the end
