Locking Wheel Nut Removals in Bognor-Regis

Much like trying to find your keys in the morning, locking wheel nuts have a habit of wondering off into the depths of the car. Nowadays most cars are equipped with locking wheel nuts but these tend to vanish after a visit to a local garage or when a car has been purchased 2nd hand .

In order to remove the wheel, change a tyre or repair a puncture, we need this key as it's a completely different shape to the other nuts. In addition, from one car to another, the key could be completely different!

In order to help the customer get back on the road as soon as possible, we have specialist equipment on the van that can remove the locknuts without the use of welding or cutting if no key is present. Our specialist tools are made of brass that, once hit, conform to the shape of the nut and aid in the removal service. This is the non-invasive method. The other method would be an invasive removal. This breaks the head of the nut and uses a large amount of torque in order to remove the nut.

The nut shown in the photo above is from a Peugeot / Citroen these are one of the most difficult to remove, they are also one of the easiest to damage by a tyre fitter who uses a airgun to try and remove the nuts. These should always be removed and replaced by hand.

Whilst we try our best to remove the nuts, there is sadly not always a guaranteed 100% success rate with either of these removal services. If someone has attempted to remove the nuts previously using a drill or welding, the chance of removing the nuts decreases rapidly.

Over the last 13 years I have successfully removed over 500 locknuts.
