Lockable wheel nuts (kit of four + key)
Part Number: 31439228
Chromed

If a lockable nut cannot be loosened for some reason it has to be cut apart. Due to the nut's high safety level this is the only recommended service solution. Spare wrench cannot be ordered, instead the recommendation is a new kit with lockable nuts if the customer has lost their wrench. Lockable wheel nuts, specially developed for Volvo Cars, which gives improved safety. The lock pattern is located against the middle on the lockable nuts and is therefore difficult to reach with a screwdriver, for example. The top of the lockable nut rotates and is therefore very difficult to loosen without the right wrench. A solid connection between wrench and nut facilitates installation and removal, and in principle eliminates the risk of crooked tighten, which results in a damaged wrench. The steel nuts are galvanized and have very good corrosion protection. Together with plastic caps, they provide an attractive appearance that matches the rim. The design is similar to a standard nut but sufficiently different to deter potential thieves. Technical Data
