Mariusz Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I believe the first one is McGuard, but the other ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 If no luck getting a replacement key and you are with the RAC call them up, They removed mine for £5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Knock on a smaller diameter socket and turn them off that way assuming you have enough clearance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariusz Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 The clearance is limited and think I may wreck the rims :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariusz Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Wonder if green flag will do it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas_germany Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I had mine removed at the local wheel dealer. Took 5 mins. Since that, I don't use lock nuts anymore. They're pointless, if you can undo them in 5 mins. And if sombody wants to steal your wheels and is unable to undo the lock nuts, he might cause even more damage.

Kaan W Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Ad Matt said hammer a smaller dual hex socket over the wheel nut and just undo as normal, there looks to be enough clearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 If they are made by a German company, whose name escapes me, they will send a new key if you e-mail them a photo such as you have posted here. They will want a driver's licence photo and God knows what other personal info, but once over that hurdle they process orders fast and efficiently. Once off bin them and fit proper "normal" nuts, the keys have a habit of shearing off the drive dog at the best of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
