Default help locking wheel nuts

good moring all

just wondered if anyone knows of a way to get a locking wheel nut off a peugeot 307??

the misses got a puncture last night soi thought it would be a simple case of changing the wheel only to find the last owner hasnt left the locking wheel nut key in the car!

any help would be great or even a garage the would be able to sort in the lechworth,hitchin area!!

hammer a 21 mm socket over the nut, be prepared to loose the socket though ag they can be impossible to get back off, your nut may have a sleeve that spins round the outside of it, if it does this needs to be taken off, usually with a flat driver an hammer

using a nut similar sized to the locking nut head, weld through the middle of the nut to the locking nut, the heat also helps loosen the locker

the locking nut removers will NOT remove the peugeot lock nuts if they are like the ones below
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Genuine-Peugeo...item483c30544d


as for welding a nut on that wouldn't work either as the centre pin in the pug ones are like a shear pin

your best bet is go to peugeot and see if they have a master set

Bang a socket on, start big then get one size smaller then again....

Done it a couple of times, just make sure you don't mel hammer your hand as I can tell you it hurts!!!
