Lost :(

[Jase16v]

Well after much p1ssing about with lowering and raising the torsion bar i have lost my locking wheel nut thingy! What do i do? Ive heard of people chistleing them off but the bolts are at least an inch in to the alloys? All ideas more than welcome.

Dont know what make the nuts are but they have three prongs in a triangular design (if that makes scense)

If you cant get something then I think the only thing you can do is drill em off m8...

worst comes to worst you can weld a bit of steel onto it then thatwill help get em off.

not done it myself, just know some1 that had it done.

Fook me id be there till xmas 2006, im kind of thinking along the lines of trying to get someone to fab me one? Its just the fact that they are made with such precision!

Yuo need a locking wheel nut remover, it is a socket set which grips (after force onto nut) then it very slowly moves. I had this on my present wheels, found the nut in my door couple of months later.

I took mine to 2 garages near me, a mate of mine whos a mechanic managed to get them off in the end.

That happened to my mates golf, We got a flat when on a camping hol

The AA came out and got the bolt off no trouble, but that was only 1 wheel!.
