What are currently locking wheel nuts?
Locking wheel nuts, or lug nuts as they are known, keep your wheels securely attached to your vehicle. These nuts have their own key for program and removal—a circular thing at approximately 2 inches long, with a indent at one end that will slot on the wheel nut itself.
Where’s the locking wheel nut key?
Repair or So as to alter your tyres, we’ll need you to get your key. If you’re not certain where it is, then your very best bet is to look in the glove box; at the side pockets of the boot; under the boot carpet with the spare wheel; in seat pockets; or perhaps beneath the driver or passenger seat.
What if you can not find the nuts or the key are damaged?
If you can not find your key, or if your wheel nuts are ruined and the key can not eliminate them, then fear not! We can remove up to 4 locking wheel nuts throughout replacement or repair using a piece of specialist equipment that can remove the nut without alloys.
If we must use the expert tool to eliminate damaged or overtightened nuts, then we won’t have the ability to place them back , so we recommend that you buy new vehicle-manufacturer-approved wheel nuts before our arrival so that we could match the new ones to you when the tyres are replaced.
