When i bought my motor i knew the front tyres needed replacing. What i didnt realize is the idiot i bought it off didnt have the locking nut key.

Only found this out after i'd got the car back from london to birmingham.

Took it to 5 different dealers/garages n none had a key that would fit n all said my locking nuts was impossible to get em off cause they had the sleeve on it that rotates on impact. None of em wanted to try either.

Half an hour later i had all 4 off myself with a hammer n chissel.


The usual way of getting em off is smashing on a normal socket thats a mm too small with a hammer so that it grips on tight n unscrew as normal.


If only I was good at using tools. I'd have no clue where to begin lol...I'm going to try a garage and see if they'll take it off and put a normal wheel nut on for now

I've tried kwikfit, they said they can't do anything without that key. :(

Thanks for your help btw

Yeah, I meant the key that removes the wheel nut. Can't get the 4th one off without a key.
