Locking wheel nut removal

Locking wheel nut keys are made of thin mild steel, when put under extreme pressure the metal twists causing the key to become distorted and unusable, in this case, you will need a specialist to remove them for you. Majority of locking wheel nuts and keys get damaged due to over tightening with an impact gun or being very strenuous with them. If you have damaged either the lock nut or the locking wheel nut key, not to worry as we provide a locking wheel nut removal service where we can remove the nut or bolt for you.

You can order a new locking wheel nut key from the manufacturer of your vehicle. Bare in mind if the locking wheel nuts have been damaged, seized or over tightened a new key will also fail. Most manufacturers charge for a replacement also the wait for a new key is often in excess of 2 weeks where as we can get to you in most cases ( besides emergencies) within a day. 

 

Most customers have issues with their locking wheel nuts due to a repair or service garage using air-guns to tighten their locking wheel nuts or locking wheel bolts. All lock nuts and bolts should be tightened by hand and torqued to the specifications set by manufacturers using a torque wrench. An impact tool shouldn't be used on a locking wheel nut or locking wheel bolt.
