Best way to remove these locking wheel nuts

Featured Replies

Doubt you are will be taking the car anywhere any time soon mark

Best options would be what Mr brightside is on about but the set my mate bought were fairly pricey. I still think a hammer and chisel would do the trick, the bolt heads seem to be very open to attack

I need the wheels off as I've sold them, at a reduced price aswell, so buying more shit to get them off is a bit silly, then agian so am i for being in this situation! :lol:.

Oh and to make it worse, I've done this before......

Dont know if its been said but a dead easy method as i had this before..

tighten all 3 other wheel bolts up to a silly amount (if you dont mind doing that) then put a socket around the same size as the wheel bolt on the locking nut, hammer it on and twist it off..

Worked for me, but all four nuts were quite loose-ish, so i had more room to work with when tightening the remaining 3.

Best of luck!

Big hammer and a big torx bit is what I'd try.
