Locking wheel nuts
Probably a good idea to have some spare bolts and remove the locking nuts when you take your car anywhere near a garage. I had the same problem myself when getting front tyres on. F***ing p***k at the garage blew them off with a windy gun and shattered everything off down to the end of the bolt head almost. Took it to a bloke who hammered a special toothed socket onto what was left. Came straight off ok, but cost me £25 for a new set. Garage waived the tyre fitting charge in the end as he tried to tell me they just broke!!!

Hi,
Have had a problem on every car I've had with these things fitted, bought 4 new standard nuts and took my V70 to an automotive engineering company (Zebedee in Calne,Wilts), hour later and 50 notes lighter end of problem, no nuts (locking) for me, but at least I can get the wheels off when I want, btw Volvo dealers dont seem to carry a locking nut kit so you can find out which one you require if yours is missing, unlike Ford, VW, Audi etc,etc.........Mike |
