FAQ
Locking wheel nut removal is a process to remove a locking wheel nut when you have damaged, lost or misplaced the key needed to remove a locking wheel nut. It is done using special removal tools and should be conducted by experts to avoid damage to your wheels and alloys.
A locking wheel nut, also known as prevailing torque nut, elastic stop nut, alloy wheel nuts or lug nuts refer to a nut that resists loosening pressure under torque. There is usually one locking wheel nut per wheel, so a standard vehicle has four identical lug nuts. Therefore, a locking wheel nut keeps your vehicle’s wheels safely secured. To unlock the lock wheel nut, you need a unique key, a metallic, circular tool with a hexagonal indent on its ending.
There are some common places within the vehicle listed below, which you should consider checking for the locking wheel nut key:
- The glove box.
- Under the driver or passenger’s seat.
- Inside the boot compartment.
- Inside door pockets.
In some circumstances, the locking wheel nut cannot be removed, and different approaches are required. However, these techniques can only be employed if the bolt was not overtightened during installation. There are a few options that can be explored:
A technician can use a tool to break the bolt’s head and using torque force the bolt off. This invasive method, although often useful, might cause permanent damage to the locking wheel nuts and they may need replacement.
In case of damage to the locking wheel nut, you can always get a replacement, and you should get it from your car’s manufacturer as they differ with each vehicle brand.
You can acquire a new locking wheel nut key if you have lost it—the car’s manufacturer will typically offer replacements keys for purchase. But you will need to have the key’s unique code given to you when you bought the vehicle.
The wheel nut code is customarily given to you by the manufacturer when you buy the vehicle. It is written on the locking wheel nut’s packaging box.
Will removing my wheel locks damage my alloys?
It is advisable to hire an expert mechanic rather than doing it yourself as this will reduce chances of damage to your alloy wheels. If an invasive method is employed in the removal process, it will cause damage to the powder and lacquer coat of the alloys.
