Wheel nut problem, Part 2.

Anyway...... the locking wheel nuts

I believe that you have to break off the spinning collar or a nut removal tool will grab onto it and just start spinning

Most garages will drill them out for you, but risk scratching the alloy

sorry fella dont have em on myne, but the only thing i'll say is no matter how many people tell you to, DO NOT hammer a socket over the top.

If you know anyone with a mig welder, mine were removed by welding a nut to the face of the locking nut and then using a breaker bar to remove.

Sorry, but as per previous thread none of the keys I have are close to yours. Will keep an eye out though. As others have said, don't hammer a socket on to it as it has a spinning collar. Have a look at this though http://www.vectra-c.com/forum/showpo...5&postcount=13 If you still have some of your original key it might be worth a try

Have given Vauxhall one of the locking wheel nuts the AA managed to get off and have also left them the key, theres only 1 tiny piece left in the key, about 3/4 of it's missing.
Lets hope they can sort something out.

Sorry but cars booked in at Motorbodies at 9.30 for the service, was going to get the auto headlights sorted too but as i've got no key i haven't been able to finish the suspension off.
