    Thankyou so much I was in such a state after paying for my tyres to be fitted then to discover a locking nut like this on my car and them wanting £55 to remove it! So turned to good old youtube and found your vid gave it a try and it worked! I'm so happy right now although I'm now having to pay fitting charges again to have my new tyre put on ,but still saved overall !! Thankyou!!

    My advice is for everyone to remove and scrap your security nuts and replace them with a second hand wheel bolt
    While your at home and not stuck on the side of the road with no tools in the rain

    I have this same problem with a used car I recently bought. However, there's not enough clearance between the locking lug's outside diameter and the well it's in to get a grinding stone into to remove that collar. However, your (basically) brute force approach has given me some ideas. Thanks!

    • @KarlFixes
      @KarlFixes  5 лет назад +1

      Clearance could be an issue. Can you find a flat grinding bit anywhere might help

    • @Jamfanwp
      @Jamfanwp 2 года назад +1

      Diamond bits.... I faced off with one of these yesterday. Cut a slice in the facing to expose the slip ring, then drill it with drill bits, or a diamond rotary bit. The pain in the ass part is that you have to cut it in two places to get the ring out of there.

    Isnt the point of these lug nuts to delay & deter like any other lock instead of being unremoveable without key?
    Can imagine thieves not being interested in making a shit load of noise for 40 minutes.
    Great way to do it if the key is lost though, havent seen ur method before

      Hi Dremel are the best. You also can use the metal glutted mini cutters. One problem is stopping the spinner moving . Best wedge in with another screw driver. And use thin card to protect when. Dremel extension is thinner than the machine. Just done 4 in 2 hours.
      Irwin reverse bolts are great.

    I wonder how long or how hard it is to apply some anti seize grease to bolts when installing wheels on I’m currently struggling with a Mercedes that has deep bolt wells and some asshole who fitted my brakes must have just gunned them back on dry on my second lock key and now bolt is stripped I’m gonna attempt this then I’ll use an easy out if this fails and if that fails think I’ll be using my 12” petrol grinder to cut the alloy off, all this can be avoided if people just take time and use anti seize

      Diamond dremel bits, a few regular tiny drill bits, and a lot of patience. The one I had to deal with was a jeep, had to drill the ring in two places in order to get it out of the recess, then a 12 point socket hammered on there got it right out. That fucking slip ring is designed to prevent using a socket from pulling it by being slightly larger.

    I would use a grinder to cut a CROSS ( Philip's Head ) or cut the 6 sides a bit like a nut then you're able to remove the wheel lock Nut ! Another way to remove it is to weld the wheel lock nut to an ordinary nut of similar size then remove it with an Impact Wrench !

    A cobalt helical die grinder or dremel bit works a bit better for recessed nuts and Fiat lug bolts. Also a sharp centre punch will drive in where a screw driver wont fit. If the bolt or nut is partially seized a female spiral 7/8 " nut remover will work where the 12 pt socket will just strip out.
