What a absolute tool I am.

[Dean Fletcher]

Can someone please advise me where the best place is to get a spare wheel locking nut. I have gone and lost mine in a fit of rage the other day when I spend hours on the brake discs. I imagine I felt it in the wheel and it's pinged off somewhere. Not cool.

Is it an OEM Mercedes locking wheel bolt you have lost?
I'd imagine they are only sold in sets of 4, either through the dealer or alloywheelsdirect.net.

If you have RAC they you may be able to get them to come and remove it then throw then away and use normal bolts, they are no deterrent at all

If you have the original box the locking nuts came in, the key number is often in there. Some dealers keep a set with all the keys in their workshops. Otherwise a garage with a Dynomec tool will remove them if they aren’t hugely overtightened

As above I found an 18 spline 11/16 E22 socket will belt on with a lump hammer and get them off. Then as above sling them all. Waste of time, aggro. Back to std shite rust in a min Benz wheel bolts

Once you get a key, get those locking bolts off and replace them with the original wheel bolts that should be in the little plastic case in the boot

I should have been more specific its the key I have lost.
There's a guy on ebay who requires a photo then sends you a new one. £20 mind

 

[Blobcat]

As per above do you have the plastic case it came in?

Yes sure do. I imagine there's a code or number associated with it??

Ah, that makes a difference
If you don't have the original locking nut box, the dealer will have a box of them, all numbered.
Just a case of matching them up. I paid £35 for another key a few years back.

Looks like I could buy a set for around 20 quid plenty people sellng them. It going in the garage on Saturday I could ask them to get it off and replace with standard ones.

That's ideal for a would be thief.

Do that! The locking bolts are nothing other than a pain and if they get rounded off your fury will reach new heights.

A local MB dealer was less than useless when I thought I'd lost my locking key ..... Citroen however had a log of the key when Costco broke the key on EmilysMum's car.

Sometimes the code for the key sticker is put in the cars manual

Ford had them 30 yr ago. They just cover the issue decent plating solves it. Cad coated nut and bolt stay Good forever..

Tell MB then

Again, down to the inconsistancies we see with different dealers. MB-Poole Sandown Group were only too happy to help me.

Fords had the same stainless cap on Granada wheel bolts that MB have on their more recent bolts ..... they came off too!
