Locking wheel nut removal SW London

[2gins]

I've been a prat and lost my locking wheel nut key. Unfortunately installed by previous owner and no code or manufacturer info.

Anyone care to recommend a decent removal guy?

Had a go myself but short of tools and patience. They're made of some pretty good stuff.

Yeah I'm booked in with that guy later but had hoped for someone a bit closer.

Seen the videos, like i say not making much of an impression on it and running out of patience. Doesn't help they're quite well recessed

I had to remove a damaged lock nut from my 330 a few years ago, was a difficult sob to remove.
Removal tools and other methods would not remove it.
Ended up welding a nut over the end of it with MIG welder, left it a few mins for the heat to work and removed it easy with a socket.
Not everyone has a welder handy though.
I have some sockets that you hammer on and they bite in when you turn them off and can remove most locking systems.

Most wheel/tyre firms will have tools to do this job as they encounter this regularly.

By the way, when they are removed fit normal wheel bolts. Locking bolts are a waste of time,no one nicks wheels any more,your more likely to be mugged and the whole car stolen.
