View Full Version : Locking Wheel Nuts - No Key???
Well I've bought a car with locking wheel nuts and theres no key been supplied, its been written off and I bought it for the engine and, the wheels, any ideas? So can't ask the previous owner and it doesn't look a sntadard wheel nut to me
Weld some bolts on the end of the locks or get a locking nut removal tool.

As above, or you can just hammer a socket onto them providing they aren't siezed.

Or completly round Tuner style locks.

i take no responisbility for any damage or hurt gained from the above post, it was posted as a suggestion and not an order and does not have to be done lol

Was really easy. Material is only soft so drill them in no time! Then kick the wheel and it will fall off lol
