Technical Lost Locking Wheel Nut Key!

[grantm11]

Hi all,


Managed to lose my Locking Wheel Nut Key and only discovered when I took the car to the garage...typical!

Unfortunately I'm not 100% sure if they are Fiat original ones as I changed the alloy wheels. However I do think they are!

I don't have the box with the Key Number in it.

Have seen alot of people recommending this site http://www.evoautomotive.com/

Not sure whether or not sending them a picture locking nut or taking it directly to Fiat and seeing if they have the correct one! My nearest dealer is SGM in Southampton.

Cheers for any other help!

Do they have a rotating collar on the outside?

If not, try the sacrificial socket trick - whack a socket onto the nut and try undo it.

If it does have a collar then you can get the corner of a chisel into the track and whack it. It's noisy and slow - not a recommended method of theft lol
Be careful - it's easy to damage the wheels...especially if you use a windy gun powered chisel lol

Yeah it is one with a rotating collar on the outside.


Would rather use a method that doesn't cause any damage.

Pic 4 on this eBay listing of mine has all of the key codes for Fiat's currently locking wheel nut range, with a pic of what each design looks like

Thanks you very much!

Not sure if these are Fiat ones at all.

http://www.evoautomotive.com/ has no idea who makes this wheel nut.


Anyone recognise these at all?

thats not a original fiat supplied locking wheel nut

rather an aftermarket type


look like they dont have a shroud time to bang a socket on

They're not the same as my Fiat ones, as above they look agtermarket.

Managed to get the locking wheel nuts off finally!


Does anybody know what the correct nut size is as I need to get 4 new ones?
