Locking wheel stud ID

Post by peteinnit »

Hi all,
I know it's a long shot, but wondering if anyone recognises this style of locking wheel stud and adaptor and might know the make. Can't find any similar looking ones on the web. Long story, had brake failure in France and adaptor nut wasn't where I usually put it, so had the spare sent out to me, only it was sent with the slip of paper with the replacement code and the garage threw it away! And now the spare has broken! They're quite recessed so it will be difficult to get them off with the adaptor.

Here's hoping, cheers

Looks fun. I’d suggest finding a socket that is a similar size sticking it in a vice and grinding it into a key.

Spray some wax/polish/ release agent into the locking nut, take an impression with plastice, ink the "dogs" that protrude and use that to mark up a socket.
Get slashing with a cutting wheel.
Done it myself, it doesnt need to be a super match, but the close it is, the more even the load distribution over the four dogs (or lugs, if you prefer)

I've managed to get 3 off by grinding down the bur, but of course there's one that is a little bit tighter that it just won't budge. I don't have the gear to do what has been suggested, so U'll have to find someone to get it off, still better that I only have one left on than 4.
