Lost locking wheel nut key

[Sj1782]

So seem to have misplaced my locking wheel nut after csf! What are my options for removing it? This is a first for me!

Is this any useful?

You can just knock a socket onto them and then remove the nut from the socket in a vice. However if they have spinning collers then they are much more difficult to remove.

That kit above won't work then. You could weld a nut to the non spinning part of the locking nut. Got any pics of the nut?

Someone else in another thread suggested a tyre place, but also these people might be of use ?

I have removed the spinning collar locking nuts in the past by chiselin part of the collar away and then using the edge of the chisel to tap into the non moving part of the nut and freeing them that way, but the nuts need to be nipped up and have enough clearance to actually get the chisel in between the alloy.

There’s a couple of local company’s that offer the service so I’ll ring around and see what prices come up with! Proper pissed off about this! Going away for the weekend in the Clio and I’ll have to risk it with 2 bald tyres!

Just had this problem, used a twelve sided socket ( normal six sided just slipped) for more grip and a mallet to hammer it on, took two different size sockets, mine had collars on . Good luck

Ive played this game. Bought all the locking wheel nut removal tools none came close to working. Neither did the socket trick. Ended up searching ebay for a secondhand locking key which was a huge ball ache but found one after about a week.

If you put up a pic of your locking nut i might be able to help.

Had this myself with a spinning collar set of lock nuts. None of the above tricks worked.

Went to the local tyre place (ap tyres rotherham) and he had all 4 out in about 5 minutes. I felt robbed but it was money well spent at 10 quid a wheel.

He used some sort of mini impact hammer with a pointed tip and it sort of vibrated the nut out.

Leave it parked up in Liverpool overnight.

The locals will sort it.

Booked in on Monday at a local garage been quoted around £40 for removal! Think for now I’ll just stick a normal wheel bolt in
