    Angry locking wheel nuts

    How the hell can I get the locking wheel nuts off my zaffy Gsi, i never got the key and the dealer says he can "chisel" em off but cannot be responsable for any damage!

    You might have a key card in with your documents, try the folder, it has space for that kind of thing. Failing that, I believe there are 26 differant keys if they are the same as mine, so you gotta try and hope, lol.

    The dealer will have some in stock, depends if they are prepared to help or not.

    I can think of two options
    1)Hope dealer is helpful (unlikely)
    2)Weld a socket or bar to locking nut
    3)smash socket onto it (use impact socket) doing other bolts up tighter 1st

    Smack an impact socket on it and use a massive breaker bar, thats how we did mine.

    you can get proper removal sockets that work of the nutrunner.
    i'm sure some of the tyre place's would have one.wouldn't take them long to do 4 bolts

    Saw a tyre place drill one off before, but wouldn't fancy doing that myself!
