Hi,

I've gone and snapped my locking nut key, in the locking nut on the wheel of my car.
Does anyone know where I can get them removed properly and cheap. I've been to one tyre garage, and he was will to have a go at drilling them out.
They are ford locking nuts with outer edge that spins.
Thanks.

the easiest way is to get the someone to weld a normal wheel nut onto the locking nut/s and remove that way and get another set of wheel nuts

get a chisel and hit the spinning ring hard, it should snap off, then hammer a smaller socket onto whats left and it will come out

do you mean it's one of the old style with a 'normal' key?

I don't think it one of the old style ones. Thanks reddragon for the tip, but don't know anyone who can wield. Might give your idea a go brianc2 if no one else can help.

sent you a pm.

what model car is it mate my lockinnut has the pins on the outside not sure if they would be the same but worth a try

there are hundreds of variations.

i've got a proper tool, not one of the stupid sockets, for getting them off if you're stuck.

my car is a ford sounds like the same key

Hi,

I would just like to thank the people who have offered advice and the use of there tools. The locking nuts are now off and replaced with new (non spinning) nuts with the help of dilly, cheers mate for helping out.
