Stupid Question

[onlynik]

I'm thinking this may be a stupid question, but I'm looking at having two sets of tyres, one for the road and one not for the road.

I was looking for hte easiest way to remove the wheel nuts, would an (cordless)electric drill be OK?

Any suggestions??

a run of the mill electric drill will not be powerful to either remove the old nuts or tighten up the new ones.

You can get an electric wheel nut gun though

Ive had one for a couple of years now i got it from the Caravan show in Manchester £25. Its called GOLIATH.
P.S Dont buy a CLARKE one as they dont work i returned 3 before i got mine

Saw a demonstration of them at a motorhome show last year and was very impressed, he tightened wheel nuts up with a long socket wrench (and got a member of the public to swing on it) and then undid them with the leccy one.

I posted a thread on here a while back (year or so) . I got a 12v impact gun with 3 sockets , ciggy adaptor from Woolworths £14 . Works great . I got Jon one and Sumo , I think . I done my suspension change with it also . Not sure if they still do sell them or not .

It acts like an IMPACT DRIVER to undo stubborn nuts.

Can seem to find them on their website, that would have been nice

You might want to think about wheel spaces as well , I run two sets of tyres and it was fine untill one afternoon i was putting my road tyres back on and a front wheel stud snapped. Its not a bad job but had to get the parts etc....
If you have spacers and it happens you can then just remover the spacers and carry on on all six studs , Also its worth keeping a set of front and rear studs......Slightly off topic but useful info for running two sets
