Lock nut problem

[LightningVP]

Went to do my mums brakes today and we can't find the lock nut to take off her wheels, seeing if any of you people have had this problem and what you did...

We can't use a normal tire iron or any bits as it's of of the round lock nuts with grooves in it.

Had this prob a coupla years ago with my son's vr we just bashed a socket over the top...came of pretty easy.

thats what the thieves do, and it works for them

Yeah thanks anyway, after some b****ing to the car shop that my mum last went to they said they will take them off for free, with some machine

If not a socket does the job. 23mm or 24mm normally. Just hammer it over the top. Might bugger the socket though.

I think you will find the machine will be a hammer, socket and a rattlegun.

lol that will most likely be it. Some places have a multifit attachment though that fits alot of generic locknuts so it could also be that.
