Slight problem, just realised I never got a removal tool for the locking wheel nuts when I bought the car! banghead

Is it possible to grab another one online? FWIW, the car is on 14" standard MK2 5 spokes. Will upload a picture if that is of any relevance.

Thanks in advanced. thumbup

You can buy them from the dealer (well you could 5 years ago and assume you can now). Or ask a mate with an MX5 to see if theirs fits. Mine has fitted 3 cars so far. 100% success rate. (Though they looked at my friend odd when he walked in with a serviceable locking wheel nut socket and asked for another one the same. I mean who needs 2! smile )

As long you can get around the nut these are quite good, you can usually use the nut again if you get a new adaptor smile

Most lockers will come off quite easily. Only McGards need a little cunning.
