not sure what there called but they fit over locking wheelnuts
they have prongs in them,i need to know where to get one
as ive lost my locking wheelnut key and my brakes are dieing

 

Each ones different, you'll have to buy a new set and butcher yours to get them off!!!

 

I was told it will fit over any locking wheelnuts.
I tryed at the weekend and couldnt get them off
There used for rounded off bolts or something

 

You're on about the tool to remove them, not the original one, I know what you mean, but I don't know what it's called.
You could try a tyre place to get them off, they must get cars in where the owners don't give them the tool.

The one I told you about last night was called gator grip. I am not sure if they are still available but you used to be able to buy them. Try doing a search for it on google Failing that park your car somewhere dodgey (liverpool )

Best of luck with it

B & Q used to sell Gator Grips.

 

You wont get them off with a cheap gator grip..

Snap on sell a locking wheel nut removal tool... a chisel will also remove them..

Ah cant use a chisel,cant have marks on my wheels
Spoke to tsl this morning and they have a tool for removal
but there in nottingham im in bristol

 

Most people have stopped selling Gatorgrip as tea leafs were using them to nick alloys!If all else fails weld a length of round bar to the beggar and turn the bar with stilsons.

 

Just take off the "outer ring" of stainless steel, and then place a socket over the nut, and smack it on with a hammer - the nust are usually only mild steel, so will deform to fit in the socket -once this has been done, use wrench to remove nut/socket. No I am not a tea leaf, just overtightened some locking wheelnuts befor and they wouldn't come off using the "adapter"

 

Have ordered a locking wheelnut removal key today from local car shopApparently only available to the tradebut he knows what i need it for so is happy for me to have it
so tomorrow thay hopefully will be off

 

you can put your new brakes on then

 

Good job you didn't get a puncture out in the sticks somewhere

 

I lost my wheel nut key, rang the manufactures and gave them the code, two days later 2 keys arrived in post F.O.C

Even tho you have the sanp on kit coming how about if you know the make and the code of the key usally on a piece of paper when you get the nuts, ring em up and see if they can help, Im sure the car shop will understand and it'll probably be cheaper than the kit
