Hi,
Just signed up, as I have recently bought a 1996 Defender 90. It's been modified a fair bit, which I will cover off in future posts, but just thought I would say hello and start with an initial question.
Before that, a bit about myself. I owned a Series 2a for a couple of years, and am reasonably handy with a spanner, having been active in the kit car scene in the past.
Anyway, first question: The 90 is fitted with sawtooth alloys which seem to have wheel nuts with steel covers, which move around a bit, but aren't removable ? I can see that these are pretty standard, but do I just wack a 27mm socket on these to undo them ? Doesn't the cover get damaged in this process ?
Thanks in advance.
Pete
