hi anyone got any suggestions i have snapped the locking wheel nut tool for the alloys on the zed after i took 4 off any suggestions on how to put them on without the socket unfortunately i dont know where the wheels that have come with the car are from how can i replace the socket or at least put wheel nuts back on????????

I'd put stock wheel nuts back on until you can obtain a new locking nut kit. I'm sure a few members have some spare ones lying around - I may have some originals in my garage from when I put new alloys on 3 years ago.

 

TBH trying to get replacement parts for what you have now is not worth it - better buy a whole new set of locking nuts and "key"

is there a number on the top of the locking wheel nut adapter/key? if there is you can get a replacement from any wheel dealer or they could prob get you 1

get a new set on ebay for £12 or so

prob is 1 wheel nut is still stuck on

1 wheel nut is still stuck on and do u know where i can get some zx wheel nuts from or any that will fit from another car?

I LOST MY LOCKING WHEEL NUT KEY AND TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL GENERAL MOTOR MECHANIC AND THEY HAVE A TOOL TO REMOVE LOCKING WHEEL NUTS WITHOUT DAMAGING THE WHEEL, TOOK THEM HALF AN HOUR AND COST ME A TENNER.

 

GIVE SOME GARAGES A RING....

Hammer a socket on that fits the outside diameter and Bobs Yer Uncle.Its a normal garage trick. :cool:

How much room is there between the wheel recess and the nut? You can get 'reverse thread' sockets which you wind onto the nut. Once it bites the nut will come out. You need quite a large gap though betwen the nut and the wheel as the sockets are about 3mm wall thickness...
