NightSpirit Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Need to get the wheels off the car soon and the locking nut key is missing ;)Tried the halfrauds wheel nut remover but it's too shallow sadly!!I've attached a pic of the locking nut any ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I know how you feel mate! The seller of mine gave no locking nut key either!I've never heard of that thing from Halfords, i might go see what they have tomorrow as mine shouldn't be to hard to get off because they stick out a mile!

Glanza_Ragger Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 what the fuck type of locking nut is that ?!never seen one of them ever. best bet is to get an old socket, slightly smaller and hammer it tightly onto the nut, remove and replace with a quality locking bolt matey .. if you cant hammer a socket on only other option is to weld an extension onto the nut to remove it.

Mark Edwards Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Mark, the easiest way to get those type out is stick the ends of a pair of long nosed pliers into the holes and using another pair of pliers or mole grips on the first pair, twist. If it's not done up too tight you should find it'll come off hopefully. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NightSpirit Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 Good idea Mark!! will give that a go, or the socket bashing idea ;)Idrees...the part you want is the locking wheel nut remover kit, it's 2 1/4" sockets that are counter threaded, so as you 'undo' them on the offending nut, they tighten and release it....means the nuts get fucked though and the sockets don't last long either. £9.99 I paid for this set....by LaserLine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BoostJunkie Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 yes there ford fitment as when i bought my wheels for my peugeot 106 the locking nuts i got with them looked identical to them and peugeot is same fitment as ford. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NightSpirit Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 ah cool ;)Where could I get the key/nut from? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Cheers for the information mate i'll have a go at it soon! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BoostJunkie Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 in all honesty mate i wouldn't bother lookin for one i would do what was suggested and put a socket on hammer shit out it till its on then loosen it its a bad day when you have to do that because effectively your losing one of your sockets to do it but needs must i had to do the same with my pug as one of the locking nuts was chewed.
