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!

I have a couple of special reverse sockets that take them out. I've lent them to people on here before if you'd like to borrow them.

The should make one like this
Then you could just push it onto the bolt and it would mould to the shape
*patents it*
