The key was rounded off and only just managed to turn the wheel nut , if they had been on any tighter it would have been socket smashing time :( Never have liked the locking devices especially when some monkey uses a windy gun on them ::)

Designed by scousers.

Never had a problem with any I have fitted on the alst 2 Omegas and V6 Cavalier..although I always use the same tyre place and they always do wheel nuts up the proper way by hand wrench then torque wrench..they are the exception to the rule with most garages though...family business :y
-
Likewise, never any problems with any of mine have them on all 3 vehicles the only person who touches them is me..
-
Thats the thing :y This being my new car , its obvious they have been done up with a windy gun at a garage from previous owner . I'd like some sort of security so mite look into a decent set of locks and wont let a garage near them :) Had to bin these as i dont think they would come of again due to the key being worn out :y

Same here, Put some chrome wheel nut caps on all 5 studs instead, Can't be removed by hand. They com with like a tweezer type tool, Would delay a burglar better than the plastic GM caps :y

You would need to drag me screamimg and kickin into one of those places,and even then I would watch every part of the work and ensure they did it the way ..I as the paying customer ..wanted it done...no windygun >:(
-
Windy gun and a set of sockets made to remove rounded off lock nuts..east peasy. :y
-
Locking wheel nuts should be torqued to about 65ftlbs.
after having tyres fitted ask the manger what torque they have done them up to,if get a std stooopid look.,take torque wrench out of boot and show him how to use it. :y
