Locking Wheel Nut Removal – Cheshunt

What is a locking wheel nut?

The locking wheel nut is a little nut or bolt that’s used to secure your car’s wheel to the hub. Each locking wheel nut has its own unique pattern so that it can only be removed by the matching key which is specific to your vehicle. Locking wheel nuts add an extra layer of security to your car and are particularly important for example, if you have expensive alloy wheels.

Where in my car should the locking wheel nut be?

The first places to look would be either in the glove compartment or together with your spare tyre. If it’s not immediately obvious, then check all the little compartments and under the carpet in the boot. Failing that, have a look in your owner’s manual to see if it tells you in there.
