Ive lost the key for my alloys!!!

[midmac]

:evil: yes i looked where i last had them and they are no where to be seen. I only got the alloys yesterday and when i went to put them on i realised that i had lost the key. Is there anything i can do to get the caps off or is there a way to get a replacement key :evil:

If you have the orginal packaging their may be a key code, contact the manufacturer, but will prob be expensive.

I know mods/admin will moan about this but any nupty knows there are items on the market called 'locking wheel nut removal tool'

its just a reversed thread socket that locks over the old bolt and as you turn it to anti clockwise it pulls further in eventually biting and undoing it.

Other methods include hammering a old socket onto it and using an impact air gun to remove it.

i dont think its locking wheel nuts hes on about i think he means the key which holds the centre caps on

if so what wheels are they - if there std vaux one the a screwdriver normally works

hammer and punch does the job. :D
