I'm the owner of an '69 MGC GT. I want to take off the wheels for the winter so I can clean them, but the bolts is so fastened that I can't unfasten any of them. I was hoping that one of you pro's w

Copper or lead hammer of course. Or say good bye to any good knock offs. sort, but i'm not sure if that would help at all. >>> I'm assuming you have the knock-offs (one big nut holding the wheel on).

- - - - - - - - - - - - The bolt is actually a nut. It is covered on the end (like a cap nut) so it looks like a bolt head. Some people call them "knock-offs", but knock-offs usually have "wings" so

It can't be a bolt. I think you mean a nut which screws up against the wheel. A knock off hub has two wings projecting out from the central nut, and the later hubs have a hexagonal nut about two inch

I think most of the other replies have answered your question ... but just in If the center knock off has two or three "wings" on it you can hit it with a hammer. A lead hammer is recommended. If the

Well . . . sometimes there's more to it than that. My wheel nuts were pretty badly hacked up by the DPO, and the 'custom hex wrench' was closer to round than hexagonal. On two of the wheels it spun f
