Locking Wheel Nut Help

Recommended Posts

East_Hud

My random/semi drunken eBay purchase is missing the locking wheel nut key. I phoned the dealer to ask about getting a replacement wheel nut key. He gave the usual sigh and the computer is going slow routine so clearly didn’t have a clue.

 

l have this set on the car

I don’t have the code that goes with it sadly. Does anyone know if you can get a replacement? I’d like to go this route before going down the removal route. Long shot maybe I know.

 

Cheers

If anyone could buy a key without the proper code then they wouldn't be much of a security device would they?

 

Chisel the c**ts off.

Yeah I know, was just wondering if anyone had had any joy with Peugeot.

 

Had a proper battle last time I had a set of Saab ones to remove!

Just hammer a sacrificial socket over the centre part and that type tends to come off quite easily.

 

You could try looking at used Peugeot/Citroen locking bolt keys on ebay to see if there is one with the pins in the right position.

Cheers, yes there was one on the bay that looked almost the same so ordered that yesterday.

 

Though things hardly ever go that easy with me and cars.....so trying to keep all avenues open!

Hammered a socket over the end for the win.

I had to take some off of a C4 recently and they have made the bit you hammer a socket onto taper down to almost nothing so it would just snap off if you tried to use it that way.

 

There is also a bevel on the next part down so everything just slips off of that.

Air chisel usually does the job if there is access. Otherwise drill into the middle and bash a big torx bit in.
