#1: How to remove a locking wheel nut without the key Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Wed Jun 15, 2011 9:50 am ---- Does anyone know how to remove a locking wheel without the key? I used the locking wheel nut about a week before my crash, but since my crash I can't find it, I'm not sure if it flew out the car or not, I've had everything out the car but can't find it for love nor money!

Then you could just push it onto the bolt and it would mould to the shape
*patents it*

Gator Grip
Too small to fit over the locking wheel nut head unless you tweak your Gator grip socket slightly

They do Daba, but not much good for locking wheel nuts (i've tried) Gator Grip

Maybe not such a good idea to post this 'How to' up, even if it is fairly common knowledge ?
#19: Re: How to remove a locking wheel nut without the key Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Wed Jun 15, 2011 12:40 pm ---- The Peugeot locking wheel bolts are pretty easy to remove without the key.
Even McGard bolts can be removed without the key BUT it takes a lot longer & its more noisy.
Locking wheel bolts are just a theft deterrent, they ain't a 100% guarantee your wheels are gonna be safe.
