How to identify Locking wheel nut Key
Hi All,
I seem to have lost my locking wheel nut key and was looking to buy a new one. However, I have no idea what pattern the current locking wheel nuts are. Dose anyone have a pattern book or any ideas on how to identify which key I require?
Many thanks

Just take it to a dealer as they will have a complete set of keys so will be able to identify yours.

I suggest buy four non-locking wheel nuts from AF then take it to a tyre fitting centre which will have the keys to remove the useless lockers, and fit replacements.

Upload a photo of the locking nut, might be a clue for someone, when you finally get them off bin them and fit ordinary studs, if any are going to be nicked it will be your spare, it's easier to cut through a cable than risk 2.7 tons on your foot It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Quick photo in the dark in the vain hope someone might know the pattern code.
And yes once the damn things are off I will replace them with standard nuts.
Thanks for all your tips guys

If all else fails an Irwin extractor will get them off, about £22 on Eblag.It can when others can't,
