iirc Halfords sell a bit of kit to remove locking wheel nuts. Failing that German & Swedish certainly do. Draper i think.

Yes Halfords will do you a removal tool. I think they're made by Laser, so a lot of motor factors should do them. Or just go down your local wheel and tyre place and they'll do the job for a tenner.

I removed mine with a old 3/4 socket, extention bar and a hammer!!!!!! hammered the socket on and removed with a rachet, took less than a minute, but the socket and extention bar were fooked afterwards.

you only need one socket, just hammer out the old nut, just check the size of the locking nut and use a socket that will fit, not all locking wheel nuts are the same size, mine just happened to be 3/4"

So if Halfords make a removal tool doesnt that just make lockers a waist of time? I would have thought all good car thieving scum would have one in there tool box .

If they really want your wheels they just take the 4 non-lockers off and bounce the car until it strips the stud the locker is on.
