03 2.0 Locking wheel nuts for 16 inch wheel - slugpug
Hi
I've encountered an annoying problem with my peugeot.
I cant undo the locking wheel nuts on my alloys. The special socket appears to have been damaged the last time I had some new tyres and now won't grip the nuts properly. It has 4 pins inside the socket and 1 seems to be bent and therefore I can't get any purchase on the nuts.
I presume these sockets are all different and I'm going to have a real headache removing my wheels..

Any suggestions?

Cheers

When I had a similar problem with a Vauxhall Cavalier.

See www.honestjohn.co.uk/forum/post/index.htm?v=e&t=53...3 for info on how I overcame the problem.

Also see the post after mine which suggests to make sure the wall is strong enough.
