This has got to be the most intelligent method I've seen on UA-cam - tightening the adjacent nuts and using leverage to get grip on the locking nut - Bloody genius, RIPPA!!! From a pom in the UK.
Very clever, to take pressure off the one nut. Well done! Luckily I replaced my mcguard lockers with regular nuts before the key could go missing, but I will keep this method in mind for other "stuck nut" situations.
Just expressed regular nuts in a few videos.. Get rid of those stupid locking lugs and put regular nuts on. What would happen if a loved one had the car, had a flat and just couldn't find the key ? If you have $ 1000 wheels you can probably afford to call the dealer. If you don't get regular lugs.. Most cars have some sort of fancy looking wheel now a days..
I appreciate this video. Im going to give this one a shot since gm wont sale me another key to replace the key i lost for the brand new car they sold me that didnt even come with Mc gard registration slip to order a new key either lol
You didn't have a problem getting the other 2 off, the inside didn't get worn down? I figure the 4 way would be tougher, just checking. About to give it a whirl in the morning!
Only problem is all my nuts are overtightened so won't be able to tighten those other two nuts anymore. But do like your thinking. Also my locking lug the outer casing spins round.? It's on a Fiat 500 X by the way.
This probably wont work with nuts that are sunk deeper into a hole like most mags. This works only because the nut is completely exposed. Good trick none the less.
yep, just realized garage didn't give locking key back from MOT on sons car, puncture today, thought sh!t! Tried this and worked straight away. Thanks contikiricky
bullshit, I'm female and I'm never going to be able to do this myself.... Bullshit the key lock broke and bullshit the dealership can't get my wheel locks off either without breaking their master key.... ....
Thank you! This video was an answer to my prayers!
Best thing i have seen yet..so easy amd simple i think thats an idea as this has been so overlooked..proper idea mate. 👊

this worked amazing for me!! i tried this same method without tightening the other 2 bolts and had no luck, until i did this it worked beautifully
Great plan fella👍maybe save your ankle and back by LIFTING the end of wrench with a jack and the put a pipe over other leg of it for leverage??😉😉
BTW...you can do the same thing with a slightly larger socket/ratchet and extension ..use 1/2 in drive.
Nicely done mate! BTW, nice '66!

How does your back feel lol mine would of broke
Thank you so very much!
genius work!
Wow amazing whata trik thats some intellegent physics!
Is that really a K- code?
Locks only stop the amateurs!
You shouldn't be showing this to bad guys!
I would say I dont believe till I see it now I wont believe it till I try it and works lol crazy I'll try it at this point
spanking it with a 3/8 th drive
So much for locking wheel nuts...waste of money and a pain in the ass...

lol waaaaay too much work, get a 12 point socket to fit over it, hammer it on then use a BREAKER BAR
Aussie's do it better
