Locking wheel nut removal in Edinburgh
Lost the locking wheel nut key, or stripped the splines? We can remove damaged or keyless locking wheel nuts safely on the driveway, refit a standard or replacement locking set, and document the work. Edinburgh is part of our regular Edinburgh & Lothians cover — the same mobile fleet, dispatched to your location.
When you need a locking wheel nut removed
Most call outs are after a key has been lost in a clear-out, or where the previous fitter has over-tightened and rounded the splines. In both cases the nut needs to come off without damaging the alloy.
How we remove safely
We use the appropriate extraction tool for the nut type and the wheel finish, working slowly to avoid alloy damage. Replacement standard or new locking nuts are supplied as part of the service.
