Pics of wheel!! (y) :laughing:

BTW the silverline ones are spot on if you can get one. I've had mine years and used it loads and still goes like a champ. Think it was £20 ish. Comber autospares has them.

thats as far as my challange grinder took me but when i get it cut off with the new one il fire up a better pic

I thought it was strange that the other 3 alloys were fine but this one was almost brown with brake dust lol

Stone discs are designed for cutting aluminium. Although the fact they are termed stone is incorrect.

Should be ferrous discs and non ferrous material discs. Stone and aluminium falls into the latter category. Ferrous obviously steel etc.

Or a TCT blade for cutting metal. Would slice through them in no time.

That is ****ing EPIC lol!!! Truely lost for words for once :scream:
BTW don't see how this solves your problem!!!
This is what i was thinking! YEAH you've got the outter wheel off, what are you gonna do now, drill a chunk of the alloy off round the wheel nut and hope to shatter it off?!

Are you really that bored lol? Dear me... Butchered.com

i was at eddie torrens to buy calipers from a focus ST and they couldnt find a locking wheel nut and were going to cut the wheel off. Nice ST wheels too would have ruined a set to get a brake caliper. madness!

What is this pistonheads? I put up a thread lookin a grinder not a lecture lol I'll throw up pics to show the method in my madness when I'm done as for the wheel I have a spare one anyway, I'd rather cut off the old fecked wheel than drill it out and prob end up havin to buy a new hub....
In the words of sinatra I did it my way :grinning:
