My nuts are swollen

At least on the L322 they are. Having read that it's a common issue on here I've duly checked my new-to-me Westminster and all of them are no longer 22mm. Any tips for removing them? I don't want to happen a 22mm socket on then find out I can't get it off. As simple as using a 23mm? A full set of replacements are on order...

23 will probably work fine. just wait till you get the new ones delivered. V8 or else ...

I’ve now changed all mine but I would recommend keeping one of these in the car as it just might save you being stuck at a roadside;

I've ordered a 22.5mm socket from Amazon too. Its looking like next weekend is going to be a busy on on the FFRR for me. Fix this, new front brakes, clean, rust rust and protect underneath and then finally get to drive it!

I’ve got rid of all my locking wheel nuts too, they did the same. Stainless new ones are the best as won’t rust, but they are expensive.

Just replace them with a set off eBay and check every 8 months or so. If starting to swell, swap out.

Bit of a pain….

Replace all with new AllMakes ones from Advanced Factors. They are OEM.
Avoid the cheap Censored on eBay. Ditch the locking ones.
