Locking Wheel Nut Removal Without Wrecking Your Alloys
A lost locking wheel nut key is one of the most common reasons a simple tyre change turns into a problem. Without the key, the wheel can't come off, so even a garage can't help until the nut is removed.
We use dedicated removal tools and take care around the alloy. The aim is to get the nut off cleanly so the wheel is left as it was.
Common Situations
- Key lost or never handed over
- Key snapped in the nut
- Nut pattern worn or rounded
Replacement Locking Nuts
Once the old nuts are off, you can fit standard nuts or a new locking set. We'll talk you through the options.
Combined With a Tyre
Got a flat and no key? We remove the nut and fit the tyre in one visit.
