Having to drill these out. Does anyone know he thread size please ? Looks around 10mm but not metric as far as I can see.

And made of plasticine....... I had to give up with brand new ones they are that poorly made, not that they do a sight once the wheel is on anyway..

If they are tight give them a good clout with a big blind punch and lump hammer before swinging on them - saves rounding them out.

An impact driver is such a useful bit of kit------------
