    Cold chisel and big hammer.
    Stilson wrench and brute force.

  3. Hi

    Some cheap sockets hammered on tight will get these lockers off.

    All your friendly Peugeot will do is try all the locking keys he has
    sitting on the forecourt first.

    Your lucky these are not the earlier Peugeot locking bolts, They are
    virtually impossible to get off without damaging something, Normally the
    wheel when the key is lost.

    Hi,

    I had these and had a puncture. I couldn't change the wheel. AA couldn't
    get the wheel off either - well they could but I would have to sign a
    disclaimer to waive redress against damage caused etc. Anyway, AA did a
    temporary repair which held until I could get to the garage.

    The garage/tyre subcontractor eventually got the wheel off and replaced
    the locking nuts with ones of a later (and presumably!) better design.
    This was done under warranty - apart from the new tyre. (The garage
    showed me the notice from Pug admitting the locking nut fault and
    authorising replacement)

    (Incidentally, the tyre subby implied that they had a set of 'masters'
    to get most wheels off!)

    Cheers,
    Bob.

    You're missing the point here - the whole reason that locking nuts exist, it
    to make the wheel impossible to remove without the key ! Yours were doing an
    excellent job !

    Hi,

    Sorry, I forgot to mention that the adapter supplied to remove the
    wheel snapped when I tried to use it as per handbook instructions -
    hence Pugs replacement - but obviously a bit of a crappy design in the
    first place!

    Cheers,
    Bob.
