if you can fit it over the end of the locknut.. use a bolt extractor, it will destroy it, but it will come off!

...that, or you could find an old 12-point chrome socket and hammer the sucker on there, then take an impact gun and carefully reverse it off. It might take a few tries or maybe a few sockets, but it will do the job.

Or if you have an air hammer take it to one of the sides of the lug and try to hammer it off like you're unscrewing it, you're also running the risk of damaging your rim if you slip with this way though so be careful.

Thanks Tony. I've bumped into a few DIY's online, and in the Audio forum, but I haven't taken the plunge. :eek5r:

Can't wait to see it.

I was proud of myself for doing mine, too. It's crazy to see the tweeter sitting in the door

How did you do the power conversion? Did you get full harnesses or did you have to wire stuff yourself?

I had all the harnesses the only one I didn't use was the power mirror harness, it was acting funny, so I made my own... I got the idea from someone that made his own harness and sold me 1, some of the wires were too short and rather than splicing new wires to make it longer I make a whole new harness so it would look clean... but its very to convert everything to power...
