Locking wheel nut missing!!

Recommended Posts

I have gone and misplaced my locking wheel nut adaptor :mad:

 

Has anyone had this happen, and can a garage get it off, so I can get down Halfords to buy a new set?? :?

 

Help :(

I had this problem at the weekend because I'd lost the locking wheel nut (probably left it on the last one I did up and it fell in the road somewhere). Took into one of the AA / Halfords garages and they got them out.

 

They were the ones with the rotating ring on the outside. They broke that off using a chissel type instrument, banged on one of those reverse thread nut removers and undid with a ratchet. Took them about 15min, and did it for a tenner for a couple of beers.

 

I only half torque the locking wheel nuts so that may have helped.
