Ashill locking wheel nut removal.

Hometyre Norfolk, the mobile tyre fitting service that comes to you, received a call from a woman in Ashill, she had unfortunately hit a pothole and burst her tyre.

The customer did not have a spare tyre, the car was stranded at home. The car, an Audi A1, was at the customer's home in Ashill, near Watton. The job was to fit one Maxxis Mid-range tyre ( 215/40/R17 87W), replacing with a Goodyear tyre, which had burst from the pothole.

On arrival the customer informed me that she couldn't find her locking wheel nut key, after an extensive search of the vehicle, we could not locate the wheel security key. However, locking wheel nut removal is a service that we offer for an additional charge. As the customer had lost the wheel nut key, we removed all four locking wheel nuts, one on each alloy.

This won't cause a problem in the future. This will be safe temporarily, if all the other nuts are torqued correctly. You can purchase a new screw from a any local car auto parts supplier. After successfully removing all four wheel nuts, we changed the tyre leaving another satisfied customer.
