Wheel Spacer nut striped.
I swear, the nuts that come with the ichiba spacers are made out of plastic or something, they strip SOOO easily!
But anyways guys, i've striped 2 nuts already and i was doing a search and... http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...2166000P?mv=rr Seems to be really popular and works too. It says it work with sockets, but i was reading a review and someone said it didnt work with a socket wrench. Does anyone have this set or used it with a socket wrench? Would you recommend it? Thanks |
How bit are the nuts on the ichiba spacers? Stock are like 21mm or 23mm, I forgot.
|
the spacer nuts are 17 mm, which they have that in sears kit. But im looking at the picture and... im curious how its used
|
Ohh i see how it works now. You put the piece on to the nut, then a socket over it. Only thing that worries me is that the space on the spacer is pretty tight, so would this even work..
|
Whenever I get spacers I'm prolly just gonna replace the nuts with ones of better quality..
|
Yeh im really suprised by how easily these strip. It literally sometimes feel like plastic lol
|
Did you use a torque wrench or impact gun to install them?
|
I only use the torque wrench to get it to 80. The other 4 lugs came off easily with my breaker bar... then bam this one wasnt perfectly shaped and it started stripping :[
|
The threads are stripped or the hex?
|
Just the hex itself luckily
|
Did you use a 12 point socket or a 6 point?
|
6 point, it fitted in, but then like the nut itself started to deform and stuff and i couldnt get the socket in all the way.
Its actually not FULLY striped because i stopped but yeh. I'm going to go ahead and go to sears and by that socket set and hopefully it works. |
common issues, best ones ive gound are project kics. Spendy yes, but its what hold you wheels on the car :)
|
for sure. but going to home depot or whatever and finding a high grade nut should be good huh?
|
You sure you have ichibas? All 10 sets of ichiba V2s I have had use a 19mm...
I have also never had any one of them strip. |
