[QUOTE="mushaini, post: 714546, member: 33090"] Dear sifus, A few months ago, one of my tyres had a puncture. Went to a tyre shop to fix the leak. When they fixed the tyre back, they used the air gun to lock all the lug bolts. One of the five bolt is a security lug bolt. Now, my problem is, when I try to open this wheel for alignment check, the security lug bolt is too tight. It cannot be undone. Note that to open this security bolt, you have to use a lug nut, a special one with a unique pattern. However, the pattern is too 'shallow'. Since the lug bolt is too tight, the nut keeps slipping and coming off. I have taken the car to two tyre shops and they cannot do it. Anyboy can advice what to do and/or where to do it? Somebody suggested have to "burn" the bolt, or use welding to remove the bolt (???) Appreciate any feedback. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
