Harryjax Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 My son has lost his locking wheel nut key. Is there any tricks to remove these without the key and without damaging his wheels. There on a Honda Civic Type R EP3. Quote
DoogyRev Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 A trip to the Honda garage will fix it (as long as the lock nut is a honda one) If not then you will have to find someone with a master. Quote
DoogyRev Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 I think most garages/tyre places have a bunch of masters, so may have to trawl round to find one. Halfrauds? 1 Quote

glrnet Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 ^ What Jim said but try your local friendly independent tyre place too 1 Quote
CrumbMC Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) ^ What Jim said but try your local friendly independent tyre place too yeah. the chances are that they'll use the method i suggested but at least then you can blame them if it goes wrong. i did it on my golf, the bolt looked like this afterwards Edited May 3, 2013 by CrumbMC Quote
Ekona Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 Just go to Honda and buy a new one. Sorted. Actually buy two, then you won't get stuck again when you lose one Quote

Ekona Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 Blimey, do they still make those?! I had one of those back in the day, sadly not as good in the real world as you would hope, nice to have in the tool kit though. I've no idea where it is now. Quote

When I asked the local car parts place if they had a set of locking wheel nuts for a Honda the reply was - "sounds like a fair swap" Edited May 4, 2013 by Keyser 1 Quote
spursmaddave Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 Drive to Liverpool, have a night out and your wheels will be removed free of charge by the morning.... only problem is they will be long gone 1 Quote
Harryjax Posted May 4, 2013 Author Posted May 4, 2013 And Then turn it off and put new nuts on Thanks Crumb your suggestion worked a treat Cap for fluid removed caliper off new pads fitted. Piston in calliper seized locking brakes on. What a night mare. Kids and there cars. Can't get any refurb kit due to bank holiday. Quote
