Never seen this one before.

[Gabbastard]

They look like standard Cit ones. Pure cheese, go to a garage and theyll takd them out for 20quid.

[AZZ-VTR]

Do you think if I got a socket on them they would release?

[D4MJT]

Nope, as said, go to Citroen, they're standard OEM ones.

Failing that be at Knockhill on Saturday, I'm up there with MuZiZZle and his locking key is the same, we'll take them out lol

[karlo]

you can sometimes hammer an old socket on or something like this http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001&langId=-1&productId=196491&catalogId=10151

U used to work at knockhill, been a while since iv been. We'll if iv not got them off by then il pop up. Only live 4miles away from the track.

[AZZ-VTR]

I used to work there sorry lol never ment to write U

[D4MJT]

I used to work there sorry lol never ment to write U

Lol, was gonna say :p

I'm 99% sure it's the same as his key, unless they did a few looking like that with slightly different spacings. We're up there for a 1pm start, 1-5 open pit session, so I'd imagine we'll be there 12 ish onwards to get signed on, briefed etc.

If you get stuck and you're only 4 miles away go for it, drop me a PM with your mobile number in or something if you do.

:y:

[AZZ-VTR]

Il pm you my number the now and just send me a wee text to let me know you got it dude.

[Nik_L]

Those look the same as the 1s on my GF's 307. Standard fitment also.

Im in Leven if that's any use to ya.

[AZZ-VTR]

NIK_L........ That could be helpful bud. Do you have a spare?

If so how much for it?
If I can get the locking nut off, what nuts do I use in there place?

P.s. Got my brembo brakes today.

[Quick]

Buy new locking bolts to replace them!

[Nik_L]

Just done a google search and it appears they did do loads of different keys with different spacings.

Of course they!!

Would be no point in having them otherwise!!

[Nik_L]

You say that as if they are all unique.

[Dany4494]

Go to halfrauds and buy tge licking nut removers there like a self tapping reverse thread and then buy nee nuts.

[Barnsey1416]

Get an old socket you will never need (I suggest imperial) then beat the cunt on

[BenPUG106]

19mm socket goes over them. I had the same problem when I got my GTi. Lol

[AZZ-VTR]

Used a self tapping reverse thread tool but it was no use. I managed to get one off with 3 wacks but the other front I tried for an hour and now the bolt is completely chewed to bits (needs welded onto I think) either went on with an air gun or a bloody scaffolding bar!!!!!

Just left the rears as they are as I don't wanna risk chewing another one to bits.

If welding doesn't work am I left with cutting the alloy into 8 bits?

Please someone say they know a less expensive less time consuming way? :wall:

[qrty]

On the chewed up one can you not get a tight fitting socket and hammer it on?

Done this a fair few times and always worked well.

[D4MJT]

Buy another saxo? :cool:

[MuZiZZle]

[blackie_2k5]

[Gabber]

Buy a bolt extractor set from machine mart, hammer the 13mm over and remove :-) thats how i did mine with the same nuts
