hi folks, i was putting my new alloy wheel locking nuts on and it broke on me. ive used them on and off for about a year when doing various things that required the removal of my wheels.

However i need to change my tyres and they have a got a locking nut on each wheel which need to come off.

Is it a case of brut force or s there a technial way whithout damaging my white comp Mo's

Apparently the number on the locking wheel nut is not the right one to order a replacment for either!

Cheers for any input

Drill hole in the centre about 10mm in and get a Trox`s key socket and hammer it in and just undo it

i will ask the person we get the kits off where they get them from and how much they are but they dont come round till wednesday what u get is a type of impact driver that u have a type of metal at the end (only good for 2 to 4 nuts!then u have to use another end!)u hammer the said part and the peice of metal shapes into the pattern of your locking wheel nut then u undo!simple as that the AA use them etc
