Locking Wheel Nuts :S

[Lam7r]

Any advice for removing these when you have been a pleb and lost the key? Need to get at least 1 off (Change the wheel) but need to di it without damaging the alloys

Any help would be great. Thanks

its so easy u can do it urself. as sum1 has already said get a scocket thats slightly smaller attach it to a ratchet extension and chap it over the wheel nut with a hammer. then just attach the ratchet and undo. only problem is its virtually impossible to get the lockin nut out of the socket so make sure u have another

Try taking it to your local Renault dealer , they might have a key that fits .
