or the easier way is to carefully chissel off the thin metal ring that surrounds the nut, get a 17/16mm socket beat it on with a hammer (carefully tho) and undo... although the above is alot less distructive

all above are ok but PROPER WAY IS..........


U NEED TO TAKE URSELF DOWN TO THE LOCAL DECENT HARDWARE SHOP AND ASK FOR A STUD EXTRACTER, WHAT U DO WITH IT IS U DRILL INTO THE NUT WITH A DRILL SLIGHTLY SMALLER THAN THE EXTRACTER, THEN WHACK THE EXTRACTER INTO THE DRILLED WHOLE AND UNDO JOB DONE

bein an engineer we got rounded off bolts nuts etc all the time and stud extrcaters are only thing id use

when this happened to me i just hammered at star socket onto the nut then undid it as normal but depending on what type locking nuts you have this might not work

if all else fails, theres a tool you can get from machine mart, has a reverse thread on it... you drill a hole, screw this thing on, and it'll get the bolt out :thumbs:
