I bought a 68 with rally2s on it but the wheel nuts are 9 spline nuts and need a female 9 spline socket to get them off. Are these sockets still available ? Local wheel shops haven't seen them before and can't help.

I had one of those on one of my wheels, and luckily a standard socket fit over it and was strong enough to get it off. I don't know about getting all 5 of them off though. Ugh!

Summit and other retailers sell spline lug nuts and sockets. Here are some of their offerings...not sure how to determine proper size...maybe with a caliper? Also I'm seeing 6 spline, 8 spline....but not 9 spline...

Otherwise, I wonder if a universal socket with the collapsible pins maybe work?

Kinda like these?

I can't speak for quality...never used one and don't own one. But it popped into my head as an alternative...

Do you plan to re-use these? If no, another alternative is to just weld another nut to the top of each one and get 'em off...20 times could get a little old though...a socket that fits would be better...

Or, I'd probably try to just tackle 'em with vice grips...they look long enough to grab to crack loose...

And...this dude always cracks me up. But he's realistic, and he gets things done. Again...do you need to do this 20 times? You decide if it's a worthy method....

Just find a socket that fits snuggly on the lugnut and just drive it on with a BFH. Use an impact socket if you can to avoid breakage.

If that dont work they do sell a socket that is like a stud extractor that grips good enough to get them off.

I tried jamming a socket on and the extractors and they didn't work ... What I did find was, cementing 3 small dowels into three corners of a 15/16 hex socket takes them off ... But the glue gives way after each nut and I have to re-glue the dowels back again ... At least they're coming off and I guess I've got all winter.

Thanks everyone, for the suggestions
