Default Locking Wheel Nut Key

I have a SportKa and I have stupidly misplaced the locking wheel nut key. Any ideas on how to get it off or get a replacement?

Yeah smash a socket over it, I've done it quite a few times before.

You will probably find there's not enough room in the wheel bolt hole to 'smash a socket' on these.


Go to Ford dealer, they have a master set.

They undo them with the right tool

They order a tool from mcgard correct for your car from the number of the master set tool.

Done.

Use one of these, I've just removed all 4 of the nuts on my focus after the key snapped

Last set I done, there was no space for anything down the side - so couldn't get a socket over it.

I welded a hex shape on the top of the locker, and banged a socket onto that.
