I have on my mk2 golf, a locking wheel nut that seems to be non existent online anywhere
I need to get my wheels off to change my discs and pads and give my callipers a refurb, but how can I when I cant get the wheel off

there must be a cheats way of getting them off????

^ That thread made me very happy.

On topic, you can get unlocking kits which have like reverse teeth and chew into the nut until there is enough friction to turn it.

Alternativly buy some cheap sockets slightly too small and hammer them on.
Be prepared to buy some new locking nuts though, because both methods will wreck your current ones...

haha that post.. I want to get rid of the locking nuts anyway as I don't have the locking nut to take them off, so ruining them doesn't bother me, just don't want to ruin my hubs or discs haha
