Basically I've lost my locking wheel nut remover and need to try and get my wheels off, so if you have got one I could try I'd appreciate it. Thanks Scott

its not in the bottom of the wheel jack bag? or bottom of the boot?

I've had it recently to have the wheels refurbed and new tyres and can't find it now !

Are you sorted?

[m4ckg]

no not yet

[SILICONE KID]

Locking wheel nuts are like a key ....probably over thousand variations..!The bds only supply one with the kit and then ask for £20 for a spare..

[m4ckg]

somebody posted on here somewhere that there were 35 variations on the Chim ? don't know if thats true though

[SILICONE KID]

They could be Ford..Loads of different manufacturers from many countries means thousands of variations..

Sorry, back online now, i have one from my Mondeo if you want to try it, someone also told me it was a Ford item, but i really don't know, i'm around all week or alternatively ask RaceProved if they have one spare

The wheel nuts are originally Ford parts. They can be obtained on E-bay. The bad news is that there are numerous variations on the lock nut key patten, so obtaining a replacement, using one from a different car is unlikely to succeed.

The good news is that Machine Mart supply a tool to remove the locking nut! See:

www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/locking...

This ingenious tool is similar to a H/D socket, but has a left hand thread in the centre which winds onto the lock nut. When it bottoms, it grabs the offending lock nut and you then wind it off as if you had the original key.

Hope this helps!

Fantastic.... Perhaps they'll also start selling generic alarm disablers and one shape fits all ignition keys too.
