Help regarding locking wheel nut Focus ST-3
Hello, need to get a tyre replaced and have lost locking wheel nut key
Been to ford and they wasn't any help what so ever, been told you can usually get them off using another socket to force it of? but with the ST nut its not possible because of the size of it?
Been looking at getting key from ebay etc but they all seem different....
Any info would be great or happy to pay someone to come get them off.
(i will buy new set)
located newton abbot, Devon
Thanks

Help regarding locking wheel nut Focus ST-3
Good luck, when my local garage over tightened the locking nuts on my st, the key broke when trying to undo them. Car was with them for 2 days while they got them off, they also scratched the wheels quite a bit so they needed refurbishing too! There is no space between the locking nut and the bolt hole to fit a normal removal tool on to.
