    wheel lock nut removal

    removing lock nuts within the hour, after the key is gone is straight forward for most cars.

    Locking lug nuts are a popular theft deterrent device that offer a specialised lug nut per wheel, that requires an adapter to place on the lug nut for removal and replacement procedures. This device offers a challenge for would-be thieves who are interested in stealing the tyres and/or rims from a vehicle. Some people who buy used vehicles may find out the hard way whether they have locking lug nuts or not, and they may discover that the locking lug nut key was never given with the purchase of the car.

    This procedure offers a level of difficulty. We may need to try several times in order to achieve success. Damage may be incurred to the tools we are using, such as the 1/2-inch drive extension if we are constantly hammering on it. We Try to find the perfect balance between finesse and brute strength will be essential to your success. But we do succeed without damaging your wheel.
