Removing locking wheel studs / without the key??

[Jonfiat]

Folks,

Does anyone have any ideas on this one??

Recently bought Sei, (the one I've been posting about recently) - has locking wheel fixings........... bit like the vehicle keys, I don't have the key for the locking wheel screws, - looks like it might be like these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FIAT-SEIC...rim_Nuts_ET&hash=item1c22606e2d#ht_2437wt_702 - however don't know yet - haven't got that far yet!

How am i going to remove them??

As usual, any advice would be extremely welcome!

Cheers


Jon

drive on a slightly too small socket

Some garages have a special tool which bites into the nut and twists it off quite expensive to buy but a garage with the tool could do it for you and hopefully quite cheep

Search every square inch of the car for the proper key before hand and if all else fails do what Custard said

Find a socket thats a tight fit nock it on with a big hammer it will do the job, or halfords do a laser wheel nut removal socket[2 sizes fit 17/19/21.] Machine mart do a set of four stud /nut removal soket set. Dendo.

when I wanted to buy a set of FIAT alloys form a local scrap yard they lent me an 18mm bi-hex socket and a lump hammer,
worked a treat on the STD FIAT locking bolts(3 lobe type),
