problem changing tyre

**volvo340sleeper** · Tuesday 2nd August 2011, 18:38

im having a problem getting tyre off as the attachment for the lockable nuts wont go on the nut, it used too but now wont, were all the lockable nuts the same with volvo's, as dont know what to do as got flat and cant get it off

sounds harsh mate , do you carry a can of tyre foam? you could use that to inflate the tyre to get you out of trouble till you cure the real problem which am afraid could mean a lot of drilling the old bolts out etc or using stud extractors

**volvo340sleeper** · Tuesday 2nd August 2011, 18:51

theres only one bolt which cant get off, will go buy tyre foam 2row, guess they all different and wont be able to find one the same as bloke down road has got v70 with same alloys

What sort of locking nut is it?? some you will get away with smacking a 19mm socket over the top

**volvo340sleeper** · Tuesday 2nd August 2011, 19:04

its a round one

I had the same problem. Took it to the Local volvo dealer and one of the lads managed to get them off using a heavy duty impact gun.
It destroyed the lockers but was way better than having to start doing it the other ways.

how much did it cost

**volvo340sleeper** · Tuesday 2nd August 2011, 19:35

is there anyone local to me who would be able to see if theres fit,

**Jamest5r** · Tuesday 2nd August 2011, 19:53

Can you post a pic up of the locking nut? many people on here have been through the same problem but there are so many types, some easy to get off and some not so.

I managed to get it done for nothing but its just because i knew one of the lads in the parts dept. Any garage that uses air tools will usually have an impact driver so you could prob get it done cheap enough.
Just carefull they dont damage your wheels while doing it.

**volvo340sleeper** · Tuesday 2nd August 2011, 21:01

not sure if you mean the wheels or Johnny's locking wheel nuts. But all the wheels fit each other, i swop wheels between my S60 & 850. You do have to watch brake clearance's if your using 16's or smaller. As for the wheel nuts, yes his 850 one's will fit your S70

here is the locker

Not a lot of Volvo dealers will admit this.... however. They all should have a set of master lock nuts.

I took my car to John Darke in Lincoln and the technician brought out a case with every locknut Volvo produced.

They all have them as many owners dont leave them in the car when they go in for servicing.

Give your local dealers a call, they should be able to help.

just went and bought a laser remover for them as cant really drive car as the tyre i need to take off is illegal and flat
