Default NEED LUG NUTS!!

Hello All,

I am in DIRE need of ALL my lug nuts. It seems the previous owner might have had the wheels changed at a shop in which case the shop must have used an impact tool. I can only fit my LR lug nut removal tool on my rear left wheel.

I found these for cheap but looking at the design I dont think the will secure my rims as they don't have that edge/rim where the washer sits.

Does anyone here use a different style than mine shown below?

And here's a pic of my rims.

Otherwise try www.roverlandparts.com.
You can buy the tire tool to remove your lugs from AB for $15.

I have never seen these before but looking at these lightly built lugs nut and comparing them to the heavy cast factory nuts that require 105 foot pounds of torque, I wouldn't use those on my Disco.

Yeah I agree, those don't look suitable for our trucks.

I got the lug nuts off! I used a rubber mallet and my LR lug nut removal tool and hammered it over the lug nuts. Everything worked out fine!

Thanks everyone.

all the lug covers are missing from my lug nuts so I just assumed the covers on the spare tire lugs would come off easy..boy was I wrong! those things are stuck on there good..anyways..the spare tire lugs seem to weigh the same as the regular lugs, but they're a different color..can they be used on the drive wheels? I have a few lugs that are rounded off and would like to swap those to the spare tire.

Post a pic of what your lug looks like. I have never seen it without the coverings. I just ran out side to check and on my disco the spare lug nuts are the same except for the style of the covering, no different colors for me... I swapped it for one of my regular lug nuts and they fit the same.
