Can't find the locking wheel nut key for alloys, can't take to dealer as car is, ahem, incapacitated. Any ideas? Basically looks a bit like a big star/torx bit.

Thanks in advance

You can get those left hand threaded sockets with a internal thread that are specially made to remove the old wheel locking bolts. They come in a kit of sizes( i have some) they are designed to tighten around the bolt as you turn anti clockwise. Can get them in halfords or similar car part places. Made by laser tools I think.

try here. just count the splines on your nut and order as required.

Thanks guys, one of those should see me right!

Ask a member near you to pop round, I've got the same one as another member lol
