Removing locking wheel nut
Discussion
Hi folks,
I have a bit of a dilemma. My M135i needs a new tyre but the supplying dealer (in Blackpool) didn't supply me with a locking wheel nut! I've since ordered the right type from a local dealer but I'm selling the car next weekend and the new removal tool might not be here by then (coming from Germany)
According to a bmw dealer who couldn't remove it by hand, the existing nut on my front nearside wheel has seized on and they want it in. They say it's not a warranty issue and so I'll be spending big bucks on labour if it takes them a while to get it off.
I was wondering if there are any mechanics out there with the right tools who could get it off asap as my front tyre is illegal and I really want to get it changed.
Thanks,
Martin
