I stuffed my rubbish wheel nuts up....so my friend got a slightly smaller socket...and
bashed it on with a hammer...then just used the wrench to undo them.

x2 i used the same methord to remove my mums ones a few weeks back to change tyres after she lost the socket to take them off

haha was just thinking the same - A thief isnt gunna wanna be banging around with a hammer etc and taking about 20 mins to do each wheel so generally they work

Thanks people ill get him to a set!! You are right if these are easily available what is the point of hvaing locking wheel nuts but, i suppose it does put off the oppertunitist from trying to nick your wheels etc...

put a socket on and bray them off and buy a new set easy way i recon thats what i did only cost about £20 from halfords!!

I got some good ones from GSF only about £15 and they are much better than the poopy
crooklock ones..that have 3 small holes on the inside.
My new ones have a funny shape around the edge...much better imo
