Rounded Nuts...

[trkdrvremt]

I tried to do my front brakes on my blaster and somehow rounded two nuts, 1 on each wheel both in the same position . Any ideas on how to get them off now? .

Vise Grips!

Or you can take a 12 point socket that is slightly the wrong size and bang it on with a hammer and use an impact driver to shock it loose.

You can also use a small cold chisel. Get a good bite on it in the off direction and tap it loose.

Twist off sockets. Also if you can get your hands on a snap on 6 point socket of the right size that may take it out also. Snap on uses Flank drive ( grabs the head of the bolt on the flats. Everybody elses socket grab the head of the bolt at the points. All else fails, vise grip, hammer and chissel, or drill in the cener of the bolt head and increase drill bit size until it come off or is thin enough to knock off with a chissel. Good Luck
