Seriously why? Are Argos so fecking brainless they think that in doing it so you can't undo it and your ds can have the thomas bike he's wanted all year long is a good idea???

I am hormonal and not a workbench therefore I cannot construct this bloody bike and I am having a strop.

Try tightening them up a smidge then go the otehr way. This sometimes works to loosen nuts.

mumof2andabit · 23/12/2008 23:42

They won't move either way. They are well and truly stuck and we are well and truly fucked. Till 8am when Argos opens.

have you any wd40 you could give them a spray with,that usually works.

You need to borrow adn electric screwdriverwith the right attchment,or try a tyre shop.They probably used one of these at Argos,people don't realise how tight those electric things do the nuts.Local mechanic should be able to help
