Managed to lose my locking wheel nut key, so had mine 'removed' yesterday.

Anyone reccommend some good ones or shall I stick with the standard Subaru ones that come on the car?

 

Think the std Subaru ones are Mcgard, which are probably the best you can buy, set costs about £30 (might be cheaper from Subaru dealer - oddly enough !).

 

Hi Ed,

I bought two sets from Tileys in Bristol last week which cost about £17 per set from memory. They're fine for me.

Ask for Phil in the Service Dept - a very helpful chap

Cheers

The original nuts on my classic defo aren't McGuard. My local Halfords (yeah, I know) have just started stocking McGuard and have some nice extra light ones among the various types.

 

My old ones needed cutting off too - they had three raised ridges on them (y formation). I just replaced them with newer Subaru ones and they are much better. The have a sort of flower pattern on the nut for the key to fit in - much less chance of shearing the metal off. Cost about £25 IIRC.

Simon.

 

Excellent, thanks guys, picking some up on Saturday :d
