Looks like iv managed to missplace my locking wheel nut..

 

just wondering if anyone knows a suitable tool and method to removing them (even if it means damaging them) or is it a garage job?

 

Thanks

 

I belive you buy the tools from halfords...

you get a A/F size socket that has multipull teath inside. get it so it just does not fit then smack it on with a hammer (carefull not to hit alloy) then attach a wrench and remove works a treat.

 

I have had to do it a few times with second hand cars that i have bought and also once when i lost my locking wheel nut.

A couple of very tight fitting cheap sockets hammered on (you'll probably *ugger one before you get all 4 off) works sometimes, be careful the sockets don't shatter in your face though!!
