Locking wheel nuts (no key :/)

[Bound]

Supp

Anyway, got some locking wheel nuts, on the front two wheels only, one nut is locking. No idea how to get them off as I don’t have the key or anything.

I had an idea (think it’s in vain), basically, applying the theory as I did with my cam cover, the nut on the left of the rocker cover was rounding off (was 10mm), so I hammered on a 9mm socket to make it really tight, and managed to get it off.

Will the same principle work on these locking nuts? Or do I need someone with a key..?

Next question is, does anyone have a key and is generous to unlock the buggars for me? =].

Thanks.

1) key varies... there are thousands of combinations.
2) impact socket, impact driver, hammer, breaker bar... jobs a gooden.
*basicaly what you did with the rounded nut*
3) hammer and chisel!

you could get a "rounded nut remover" tool.
i got one from the snap on dude a few weeks back, and use it all the time!
but most palces would sell it, its like a small socket, but with teeth in, which bite into the bolt your trying to undo and sorteddd!

or 17/19mm impact socket, hammer and breaker bar.

*next time i have to take a set off in work, ill take pics and make a thread lol.

halfords sell/used to sell a locking nut removal set. its a socket that has a left hand thread on it... so as you tighten the socket, it bites and removes the locking nut.

its a 'laser' product. if you cant find it at halfords try searching for it on the net

scrub that, heres the link :y: - :bunny: (http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_19 6491_langId_-1_categoryId_165469)

iv got the same locking studs as them, trilock. my bro works on a vts with the same studs and the bloke dont have the key so they hammered over an 18mm socket and it gets them off, fools people if they try and steal the wheels as 3 are 19mm and 1 18mm lol.
