locking wheel nuts,

[kujawski]

Does anyone know of a quick and easy way to remove locking wheel nuts,as i have lost the key .Instead of taking the car to a garage, as was quote 20 per wheel,

[kwicky]

20p? As they charge up to �80 per hour for labour I think this is good value!

[kujawski]

sorry , nope 20 POUNDS per wheel,

[NORMANTHEDOG]

what sort of car is it.

[kujawski]

its a Jaguar

[homer75]

Hammer a socket onto the lock nut. If you get a good bite into the lock nut it will come off no problem.

What is the design of the locking nut, shape etc.

[kujawski]

similar to the ones on

[NORMANTHEDOG]

if you take it down to your local tyre and exhaust place,they usually have a selection of keys to remove them,give them a �10 drink and hey presto

[NORMANTHEDOG]

have a look on ebay,see if there are any simelar nuts

[Toureman]

As HOMER said use a socket.

Or as NORMAN said, cost me a fiver at my local tyre specialist when one of mine would not come off.

[Dr Wu]

Normanthedog is right, your local national/kwikfit are used to this problem and have a big box of keys.

Alternatively the Jag dealership should also have a key in a drawer somewhere for a contribution to the tea money!

Had the same problem with my MK1 Laguna except that the key was made of plasticene and disintegrated.

Obviously once you get 'em of replace them with normal wheel studs unless the alloys are very precious!

Locking nuts? Sounds like anyone with a socket set can have your wheels off!

[JB9000]

You have same problem as me. Kwikfit managed to snap my locking nut tool off into the nut itself!!! Mine are McGard ones like yours, socket doesnt work. Gonna get mine drilled & Kwikfit better pay the bill or they going to small claims.
Anyone know address of their uk MD??
