dil 0 Posted February 27, 2013 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VWVW 1 Posted February 27, 2013 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.

ollielawson 0 Posted March 1, 2013 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dil 0 Posted March 1, 2013 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 . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted March 1, 2013 Glad it's sorted. Those Tri-locks are a terrible design! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
