i found my locking wheel nut tool at last, so who can guess what was the first thing i did with it? Yep i broke it! sh!t sh!t sh!t

went to citroen to ask for a replacement, and did you know that 'apparently', " they have to make one in france specially, and the last time i ordered one it took between 2-3months". "they are £38 + vat do you want me to order it?" so i said i can't wait that long any other suggestions?... " well we can sell u a new set with tool for £32". ok and how much to take the old set off? " depends...could b an hour... or 3hours on one wheel...umm...not sure." i mean for fuck sake give me the idiot why don't you! thanks for being so precise! then i asked how much and hour then and he said £45. how the hell do these people get any work atall.

anyways after my usual rant here comes the point i was getting to... any one know how to get locking wheel nuts off? lol

Bit pricy tho,

And by the way, at my garage we charge £45 an hour, its the going rate, and we are fully booked up a week in advance, no wonder the boss it always on holiday !

Good luck

stupid question but what size socket, and what sort of hammer - locking wheel not key wasnt included when i bought me car

vtr2007 · 12th May 2007, 00:18

just one that is a tight fit over your wheel bolts so it can get a good grip and just a normal hammer not a rubber one and your done

If its the standard cittroen locking not which im guessing it is,then all you will need is a 12mm nut and a extention bar to put on it so you dont smash your wheels with the hammer.Afew wacks and it will be as tight as a nuns minge.
