i have lost my locking wheel nut and have a flat tyre. any suggestions?

Answer 1

ask 1 of those lil hooded guys who float about at 2am stealing alloy wheels, he may sell u a tool or simple do it 4 u ( for a small fee or bag of weed )

Answer 2

That particular wheel, I don't know. If the locking nut is not recessed into the wheel too far, I have carefully used a chisel and a hammer and chiseled the outside of the nut, and made a slot to loosen the nut the rest of the way off. That was on a Mustang, by the time I got to the third one I was a pro at it. I tried first to get help from a dealer or a tire store, No help made me do it the hard way. I replaced the locking nut with a regular lug nut. Now this way is a chance that you mess up the stud threads, If you have five lug nuts you can make it to a place that can replace the stud. I had one out of four that I had to buy a DIE to clean up the threads. Rather B Lucky than good. Good Luck!

Answer 3

do u know where the locking set is sold if so go there for a key
do u know of n e 1 with the same locking nuts if so borrow their key
some tyre shops have keys but dont always hav the rite 1 for u so worth askin 1st
otherwise it can be expensive to hav it broken off a socket will work on sum but not all sumtimes a heavy hammer n strong screwdriver put in to the small hole and hit with the hammer short sharp strokes check to see if it moves put a dot of paint on nut n wheel to see if it moves good luck

Answer 4

You have two options at this point. First, have car towed to tire shop and they will be able to get it off (they have master keys to about every locking nut out there) but of course the towing may not be cheap. Second, call the manufacturer of the locking nut and order another "key", this is your cheapest option. The "key" should cost about 15-25 dollars. Good Luck!! =)

Answer 5

They make a special wheel lock removal tool and most tire shops would have one. Or you could hammer on a 13/16 or 7/8 12point socket and hopefully it will grab enough to break it loose.

Answer 6

A good tyre shop would have a tool to remove them but a log book will be need to prove this is your car

Answer 7

Get a lift to the nearest D.I.Y store and get a universal wheel wrench set

Answer 8

if its a genuine locking wheel nut,contact your dealership with your registration number & vin number and you can obtain one through them.if slow puncture inflate & take to local garage & they will be able to do it.failing that call out recovery service.

Answer 9

Any mechanic should have a tool to remove them, and you'll need to have the rest of them removed and replaced at a tire shop.

Answer 10

get a socket piece and smack it on with a hammer ive done it before and it works every time
