Hi all,

as title iv done a silly and lost my locking wheel nut key (Im sure il find it when I get them off)

it is the old 3 stud, type I was wondering will another key fit by any chance (stupid question I know) or is it smack a smaller but onto the nut and replacing? Only prob is it is round :S any help would be greatttt!

Cheers.

you can buy extraction tools that have a spiral thing going on inside so they cut into it as they get tighter or do what i'd do and line up a nut and dump a load of weld in the centre and use the nut

Nut and weld job can't beat it :thumb:

That's a great idea! I never thought of that! Cheers guys! If that fails il go for the extraction tool :)
