| looking for shop or tool to remove wheel adapter
Hi,
I can't seem to figure out how to remove my adapter, its on my left rear wheel, the right one wasn't bolted so It just slid off. It seems that there is some sort of 4 pin tool required to turn the grey bolts for it to come off, I'm not exactly sure.
I am looking for a shop which can remove the adapater, or any places which may sell tools to do so.
I attached pictures below to give you an idea, thanks in advance.    |

that's a Project Kics 10mm spacer, I had the same one before and I would definitely help you out but I sold my spacers long ago.
best bet is call some shops around or maybe someone on Rev Scene who has the same spacers may be able to lend you the socket.
geez looks like it's been on there quite a while too, you got lots of rust on your wheel studs, you might have to replace them for safety reasons

Yep those are Project KICS. Wow they really are corroded!
I have a set of 10mm with the special tool but I am on the island so not going to be much help. Good luck.

you know what man, looking at your wheel studs they look in really bad shape, I would probably just put a dremel to it all and replace the wheel studs while you're at it, two birds with one stone type a thing.
Check out the extended studs I picked up from PDM racing the other week, you should pick these up they use them on their track shop car

"on my left rear wheel, the right one wasn't bolted so It just slid off."
Hmm. Isn't that what holding your spacer on? Without those special nut your wheel should fall off. Posted via RS Mobile | |

+1 for hammer and punch
if there really corroded and not moving easily you can try adding some heat but not too much to turn the studs red hot.

i've seen this fail in a very bad way by trying to break it off. It cost $1500 for new rotors, hub assembly's, and ABS/speed sensors for a Lexus IS because of damage done. I believe canadian tire has a tool called a "toyota tool" it might work to get it off.
maybe check to see if this is a right tool? may or may not be http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/brows....jsp?locale=en
also my shop of preferance is GoldWrench Automotives in North Vancouver. The guys there might be able to help you out and get it off.
Good Luck.

I've got a set of those, idiotic nuts that I ended up not using these spacers. PM if you still need the key.

I have no idea how someone can do enough damage to require all those parts to be replaced. At MOST, one would damage the wheel studs and the spacer and even that would be the last ditch effort.
If someone doesn't have the right tool, they would spray the studs w/ penetrating oil, chisel at the nuts, maybe throw some heat at it. If that and any other bright ideas didn't work, break out the cutting disc and start cutting the spacer (carful not to gouge the rotor).

Now I remember why I didn't use these spacers. The key is short and before the nuts started to seat, the stud contaced the inside of the key and began cutting threads. I think I have 15mm spacers and the factory studs are too long and thick for the key. I pulled them off and used different wheels, but I will use acorn nuts with a deep socket if I need them again. Stupid key.

Yeah, with those style nuts, you definately want to use some anti-seize compound on the thread and where they contact the spacer, to prevent them from corroding to eachother.
