Cant get my wheel off

[Pickster]

So what technique did the bloke use? How long did it take him to extract the locking bolt?

Not sure about technique i was at work ,about 5 /10 mins according to wife .Just glad yo get it done & no cracks in wheel.Bring on the sun so i can get out & enjoy it now .cheers

Nice one, glad you got it sorted. I’d ditch the rest of the locking bolts and replace with standard. They’re more trouble than they’re worth.

After reading this I decided that I would ditch my locking wheel nuts... guess what? second locking wheel nut same thing happens as happened to you. Luckily I managed to tap the head of the bolt back on and got enough purchase to loosen it. Locking wheel nuts are now in the bin!

Yes I ditched mine years ago it’s one of the first things I do on a new car as they are a complete waste of time and would not stop anyone from pinching your wheels. This day and age if they go to inconvenience of nicking your wheels they may as well just take the car because it’s probably quicker.
