Go to any good tyre centre,they have a special socket filled
with a type of individual pins which lock on to outside of nut
and will undo it.Had to use this method on my shogun.

Good luck

MIKE....

Mouse,

That's a good point, you can buy the special sockets from certain places

Cheers Phill

Why don't you keep it in the little plastic wallet thingy with the screwdriver and wheel wrench?

My advice is get rid of them and buy some better ones as if ur wheels are put on tight i.e. by an airgun then they are buggers to get off. The design is very poor and its too easy to shear the points off as the metal is very soft. My dealer spent an hour getting one of the ******* of my car and ended up cutting it off.

Question

Did it fall out of the plastic wallet thingy, into the inner wing area?

Mouse,

If you don't find the key, Steve Griffin will get them off for you. You could always get some nice new locking wheel nuts with lights on that Roaduser sells, lol.

Cheers Phill

PS How's the new system ?
