Tyre fitters
Went yesterday to have a puncture done he said go to the waiting room and it will be done 2 mins later he walks in with my locking wheel nut key and says sorry can not get the wheel off showing me a well chewed up key

Opps, trust they removed all the locking nuts and paid for a replacment set.
|
Hmm, tricky one, a cwr of that age obviosly wheels have been off about a million times so may have been overtorqued in the past, or may currently be too tight, if its the old style ones fairly easy to remove anyway
|
OR they used the power gun to try and remove the locking nuts - to which they are not supposed too
|
I dont use the buzz gun on them, but you can generally okay provided they arent overtorqued or worn. I crack them off with a bar and wind them off by hand, but even then if its been overtightened or worn then they can still not work, can be a right pain in the arse, the mcguard ones i just mig a nut onto them now if they are broken and remove them
|
my Mcguard nuts are the older design, the key is longer so fits nicely with the wiggly design it has - will never sell them, they go on solid - try buggering that up - you wont!
|
had a few of the MG type that have two lugs on them...a previous garage/owner tightens them up too much and it knacks the key as soon as you try to undo them...

The mcguard ones when they start skipping, if you give the design part a good smack with a flat suface and a hammer you can flatten it back down and they then come off again so.etimes, bain of my life locking wheel keys
