Hi all,
Just wanting to replace the front tyres on the multipla but seem to have lost the tool for the fourth wheel nut/bolt. It is an odd shaped one that obviously needs a special fitting to remove, any ideas on a replacement so that I can remove the wheels? They are fiat fitted alloys so i could try the local fiat garage but know full well this would cost an arm and a leg so any suggestions on getting areplacement tool would be handy.Stmterrace
 
unless you have the code [should be in the black/red plastic box]you are going to struggle. is the locking bolt,the older type[splines on the out side] or the newer type[strange shape facing you].if the latter,you could go to your local fiat/alfa garage and check each newer cars [grande puntos or newer alfas have this type]check the wheel bolt and if you find a match ,ask to borrow it to remove your lock bolts,and then replace them,long winded I know,but better than paying some one to chissel them off.....mp
