Lost locking wheel nut key!

Post by Gizmo_101 »

Hi everyone as the title says I have been an absolute Muppet and lost my locking wheel nut key, it's always in the car, but I have searched it top to bottom gutted it pulled the seats out , can't find it anywhere, does anyone have an idea how I can get them off? They aren't the type of one's I can just hammer and old socket on to I already thought of that....
And suggestions on how to remove them would be great!!
Thanks

Tyre fitting places usually have the right tools / adapters that can get these off.
Worth giving them a shout.

other than that try getting another set of locking wheel nuts with the same "key" or posta pic and see if any members have one that will do the trick

Cheers for the reply Pete, and yeah that's not a bad idea actually, didn't even think of places like that, I'll swing by national tyres tomorrow when I'm in farnborough and see what they say and I got a picture of my key, I would say it's a flower looking one haha

That looks like a mcguard locking wheel nut, one of the better ones :rolleyes: which isn't good news in this situation. I think I have two second hand sets in the garage but the chances of one of my keys fitting is slim :sad:
If you need any helpful tips on removing them drop me a pm ;)
