locking wheel nut removal

Postby celica_xr9145 » Wed Jan 14, 2009 7:32 pm

hey, i recently purchased a celica with locking wheel nuts without the key/socket.

ive tried hammering on a smaller socket, ive also tried a hammer and a chissel but no luck.

It looks like the owner has overtightened them.

Where would be the cheapest place to go in dunedin to get these wheel nuts removed?

mag & turbo have a big box of "keys" for them, that would be your best bet

Unfortunatly i did try that but the wheel nut is to far in to get a grip on.

I just got in contact with mag and turbo and got a quote of $20 inc gst which is good
