#1: Locking Wheel Nuts Author: Squeaker, Location: En Route to the Premiership 2012/13Posted: Sat Mar 03, 2012 10:57 am ---- Can anyone recommend me a tool or a way of removing the locking wheel bolts. The key has slightly rounded and doesn't grab, just slips.
I can't take it to a local tyre place as its not drivable at the moment.
I see Halfords have some, but want something or a technique that will deffinately get them out.

The Peugeot locking wheel bolts are pretty easy to remove
#4: Re: Locking Wheel Nuts Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sat Mar 03, 2012 11:04 am ---- Can never get them to work, always end up snapping or bending them
#5: Re: Locking Wheel Nuts Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Sat Mar 03, 2012 11:10 am ---- Ive snapped the tap wrench before trying to use an easy out
Not snapped a tap or easy out yet as I know what a pain they are to then try & drill out

Technique is to make an indent in the nut and eventually with the hammer action, the nut will just wind out.
I've always seen it work for him, just be careful not to scratch the alloys.
