Couple of Wheel/Suspension Questions...

[Woody_450]

Ok, after a recent service my locking wheel nut has gone missing, I've contacted the company involved but had no luck.

So, I went on the hunt for a way to remove the locking wheel nuts, I bought the Sealey locking wheel nut removers (21 & 25 mm) and I've also got a hold of one of them sockets which have shafts inside on springs (I'm not explaining this good really) but the idea is that it grips whatever is put inside, anyway neither actually fit inside the wheels on the car, they catch on the alloy wheel around the locking nut and therefore can't get a grip.

Does anybody have more ideas on how to remove them? or is it a trip down to the local kwik fit to pay they to remove them? I've tried belting on an old socket onto the locking nut already

Oh, the second question is help really, I've just had delivered some Gaz Golds and wondering if anybody can steer me in the right direction to fitting them, ie. how many clicks front and rear, what measurements they used etc, I am mechanically competent, I just want to get them on the car and working so I can get it to a specialist for full geometry setup.

Thanks
Rich

The Gazman is an extremely knowledgeable/helpful chap. He seems to know a fair bit about them

Yeah I'm waiting for Derek to get back to me, just seeing if anyone had fitted them using a standard set up before getting them tweaked
