Took my '96 XS in to have two new front tyres today and they asked me for the locking wheel nut key which wasn't in the truck when I bought it two weeks ago. Garage said they couldn't help so had to drive away without the new tyres. Anyone got a clue what I can do?
Thanks everyone. Believe it or not they are purely a tyre fitting company! Thinking about it, I think that the start of the problem is with the locking wheel nut cover as he couldn't even remove the cover. He was prising it with a screwdriver to no avail so I couldn't even get to the nut. I see there is a plastic cover remover you can but to get these off to expose the nut.
I am based near Stroud, Gloucestershire if that is near anyone as per some of the earlier posts?
pliers to remove chrome cover.
20mm mulitpoint socket hammered onto locking nut
Breaker bar to undo nut
If socket slips hit harder with hammer..
Have have pinched the wheels off 3 discos.... and removed em all this way
The Laser locking nut removers are to small for Land Rover wheel nuts
