locking wheel nut

Recommended Posts

i have one of those locking wheel nuts with 3 prongs, 2 have sheared off and i am at a loss as how to get the locking nut off.

 

I assume its the standard locking nut for corrados.

 

could anyone PM me with suggestions on how to remove the locking nut???

 

cheers

I ve had this problem on my old Mk3 golf before. The way to remove the locking wheel nut was to hammer in a smaller size socket around the nut and hope that would be tight enough to allow you turn the old locking wheel nut out.

If you have the key number you can order a new key from VW. It should be with the service book but not many Cs have this pack now! Failing that any tyre place (decent, not kwik fit) should be able to remove it

Yep another member pm'd me about the irwins, still took some time but they did the business.

 

I did enquire at vw about getting the key, but they told me obsolete .
