Default HELP!!! Momo Alloy Wheel Unlocking Tool? See Pics Please.

Hi Chaps

I urgently need some help from anyone that has Momo alloy wheels and a locking wheel nut tool.

I have bought a car with Momo alloys fitted but there is no tool to unlock the wheels and I need to get them off asap. Does any one have a tool they can lend me in exchange for my thanks and a pint etc?

Could you all look at the pictures and see if you can help? Does anyone recognise the type of nut and tool required? They may not of course be Momo locking wheel nuts I am just guessing they are as the wheels are?

The nuts sit deep inside the wheel recess's and so getting to them with a chisel etc is going to be very hard. I want to sell the wheels and so I would prefer not to hack them to pieces!

Please help if you can, if not speak to your mates for me. I guess a tool form a non ford car would also fit if anyone has one or knows of one?

Many thanks.
Bob

Hi Chaps

I don't want to use a standard socket and chance it unless I have to as it will probably slip and round the nuts off so the actual looking tool won't fit if i find one? Thanks for the suggestion but that is my last resort if no one can help?

Keep looking please!

Thanks
Bob

Richard PON, its the rebuilt 420hp engine that I am having from it, I am breaking the rest, let me know if you need anything?

White sapphire?

I'm sure there's a couple of little bits - will be in contact.

if you dont care about damaging the locking nuts

then just use a 18mm socket or a socket that almost goes on

hit the socket on with a hammer and crack them off mate

thats what id do been there before with lockers

pain in the arse if u havent got the key

Bob, that is not a MOMO lockiing nut set, but an aftermarket one from autopart or wolfrace. They are the easiest lockers to get off, so it's worth smashing them off, and buying some better ones anyway, to save your wheels getting nicked.
Use either as said above, a socket, or go to a tool place and see if you can buy a gator-grip socket.
Once removed by some other lockers.
