... hi guys as above.....

is there a cheaper way than going to vauxhall of getting this?

[albitz]

Lump hammer and chisel to get them off,then replace with either standard wheel nuts or used locking nuts.Had the same myself a while ago. 

[Webby the Bear]

LOL cheers albz. i fancy keeping the locking nut. is there not an ebay jobbie? 

[martin42]

just as easy to get new locking bolts and get old 1's removed,also i think there is some1 on ebay who can make a new removal tool,if you send them a pic off the bolt

[albitz]

If you go to a tyre fitting centre they could probably take them off for you for a few squids.
If the locking nuts get chewed up in the process its not difficult to source another set.

cheers guys. i'd prefer normal nuts on there anyway... i take it i can just pinch 4 bolts off ralf and put them on?

cheers lads 

[albitz]

yep.

If they're Vx ones can you not borrow one? If it's the same as mine, I'll post it over?

[Webby the Bear]

thanks for the offer mate but arent they patterned different? 

my wheel nut has 3 holes like this....

and my locking nut has 3 prongs that fit in to it 

[jonny2112]

I'll check mine shortly 

[Webby the Bear]

thanks mate

Those locking wheel bolts with the three prongs are cak, they deform if you leave them out in the sun for too long.

I'm just about to list these on fleabay but I'm trying to compose the ad in such a way as to draw attention to the Mv6 I'm breaking...

...they are a newer design and are less likely to round off, as long as you don't overtighten them.

Cheap enough on the bay, once you get your old ones off...

 if you go to your local GM dealer they have a set of master keys to undo any GM wheel nut,you will need to take id etc with you normally costs a donation to the tea fund. but if youve got your locking wheelnut pass card makes it easier.

Have u maybe tried using a long nose plier and a small screw together(is a handful), and might sound silly but have seen tyres garages doing this method and taking it off when customer hasnt got the locking key at hand! The other option they use was mentioned by albs, but im guessing u dont want to damage them! Goodluck in whichever way you choose..
