Locking wheel nuts?

[Stephen]

Changing my pads and discs on my 1.8 tomorrow and just realised that theres locking nuts on the alloys and I dont have whatever it is to get them off.

What can I use or where can I get one from? Will fiat lend me do you reckon?

Anyone?

Are you suer they are Fiat ones ? and as I know every 100 one produced has the same head shape - so its herd to get the right one. But you can always slam a smaller rachet on it, or use the rachet bit that is for all nuts and screws from 10mm to 21mm - cant remember the name you use

Looking at it, its a very strange shape. Its more of a rounded triangle shape than your usual bolt shape.

There are hunderts of locking bolts around - hard to say which ones you have. But I think you will have to get them out with force and buy new ones.

Im guessing there the original ones as they dont look like they've been undone in a while.

Then IMO, the best you can do is ask if Fiat will lend you one just t take off the bolts, or to get a socket like on the pic.
It is universal size and forms to the nut or screw
