Help needed with locking wheel nuts

[clan2_uk]

I've ran into big problems whilst fitting my new STI wheels, after fitting two of the wheels I was removing the locking nut on the third wheel when the wheel brace (spider) slipped and snapped off half of the locking nut and destroyed the inside of the locking nut remover. Has anyone had any similar experiences and how did they get around them. My plan is to phone Halleys in the morning and see if they stock the correct locking wheel nut remover and fingers crossed that it will catch on what is left of the actual nut. In the mean time the scoob is in the garage with two silver wheels on one side and two gold on the other, what a nightmare !

Speak to the dealer to sort

then get a set of decent Mcguard ones

Thanks for the suggestion Phil do you think that I should play dumb and get them to do it under warranty or do you think I will end up footing a rather large bill.

They shouldn't break IMHO

I am sure the dealer will sort

Cheers, I'll give it a bash in the morning

This happened to me three weeks ago. Dealer sorted me out for nowt ( although i was on the last wheel when it broke)

It was only £8 to get a new locking master nut

Halleys sorted it out for me this afternoon, great service. The service guy told me that they are Mcguard ones fitted so I have ordered another set. Does anyone know if we get a SIDC discount there yet ?
