Hi my licking wheel nut broke trying to get the nut off. Grr.

 

whatcare options to get them all off now so I can change them.

 

im guessing it’s the original that came with the car.

I used ebay and sent them a pick of my locking wheel nut
sent out the next day for £18

Much better option than trying to remove with hammering on sockets and the like

Thankyou very much

I think there was a previous post with a picture of all the different configurations with the corresponding identification letter.

I once bought a car that didn't have the locking wheel bolt key. I drilled down through the middle of the locking wheel bolts with several different size drills progressively using larger diameter drills to drill down to the start of wheel bolt thread. The largest diameter drill I used was smaller than the outside diameter of the wheel bolts so as not to damage the wheel should the drilled holes not have been central to the wheel bolts. Once down to depth a large chisel and lump hammer to break the head off the bolts.

 

I've read of people loosening the other wheel nuts and driving the car round carefully and some where safe to do so until the locking wheel bolt loosens sufficiently until it can be undone by hand. Not sure I'd ever want to try this! And I'd only do one wheel at a time !
