wheel nuts!

[blondy]

hey just wondering if anyone can help me!
when i bought my saxo it didnt have one of them special spanners to get the wheel locking nuts off resulting in me not being able to get the wheel off

does anyone no if there is another way to get them off or will i have to get some new ones
cheers

[stendog]

dont think you can get another one so will have to drill out the old ones and buy new ones i think

[blondy]

sounds fun thanks anyway

Yep as above drill and chissel them off garage job usually.

Unless you have the box for the nuts which might have the code in then you can just order the key up to the number

If the nuts are proper citroen ones you might be able to get a new key from them, otherwise try hammering on a slightly smaller socket onto the nut and try to get them off that way.

send a pic m8 i have the standard keys if its ne help!

[biteme]

if they are standard ones you give the chassis number to shitron and they will sort it, or a smaller socket cheap one from halfrauds and hammer it over, or if not get a wheel nut from somehwere like a scrappy and spot weld it on to the locking one and undo, OR you can get for about 20 quid and they are, well basically sockets then have like large razors inside that run opposing to the undoing motion (aticlockwise motion makes the blades dig into deeper and deeper toward the wheel and undo when they grind in fully) its hard to explain but it works.....
hope at least one of these work

OH and ps all locking wheel nuts are different....

[blondy]

Does the AA or someone like that not also have the tools for taking them out?

Yeah the AA have a special locking nut removal tool that they use, but 9/10 you'll be able to get them off using the socket method.

Screwfix and probably other tool shops sell locking wheel nut removal tools for around £20:

Though tbh drilling 'em or using the socket trick is probably cheaper as you'd need new wheel nuts anyway.

you must own a socket set.. or have a neighbour that does.. surely they would do the job...
