Locking Wheel Nut Removal

Specially sized and shaped to fit your vehicle, locking wheel nuts, also known as lug nuts or alloy wheel nuts, are used to secure your car wheels and help prevent theft. Locking wheel nut removal requires a unique key, usually provided with the car. Different types include rotating collar nuts or sheer head bolts, but the most common is the keyed head wheel nut. If you have a new car and don’t know where the key is, some of the common manufacturer storage places are:

  • The glove box
  • Door card pockets
  • Centre console
  • Under the driver or passenger seat
  • In the boot
  • In the spare wheel compartment

Always store your key in a safe place.

Sometimes the key gets lost, or in the case of a second-hand car, it may not get passed on from the previous owner. It can be possible to get a replacement key from the manufacturer, but this can be a lengthy and expensive process.

How can JWN Tyres help?

Using specialist tools, we can remove any kind of wheel nut without the original key. A quick process, it takes about 10-15 minutes to remove all four. There are many tools available online to do this yourself, but you risk damaging your alloys and if unsuccessful, you could potentially make the job more difficult for a professional to fulfil.
