Re: Locking wheel nut help
You can buy wheel nut removal tools.or have a word with your local tyre place.
Are you certain it's not in the van someplace.

Re: Locking wheel nut help
That looks a tricky one but search for a locking wheel nut remover and see what you can get. You might be able to screw a reverse thread remover into that central hole and spin it out.
I've heard people say you can weld a new bolt onto the top but I guess that would cosmetically damage your wheel.
Phone round a couple of local tyre dealers, They probably have the tools and can do it for you.

It's not in the van unfortunately. I've stripped
It right back to carpet line it all. Can't find it anywhere. I noticed that vw heritage do a
Set of Locking nuts that look the same. I don't know if to take the plunge and buy a set. Hoping that the key will fit

Re: Locking wheel nut help
Hi, had the same problem a cple of years ago with same type of locking nut
We used a an angle grinder spanner that used to remove the disc for changing them over.
We removed the origanl pins from the spanner and re-drilled and welded two new smaller pins in there place
Took a bit of fiddling to do it and a can of wd40 but removed them in the end with no damage.
Hope this is of some help

Get a double hexagon socket, beat it on the centre, undo the bolt

Re: Locking wheel nut help
As above, I took a car to my local tyre centre to have a locking wheel nut removed, I thought they would use some fancy tool, but they just hammered a socket on and hey presto.

Re: Locking wheel nut help
I think I'd weld a big nut on it.
