some fcukers broke into my car last night so i aint too happy. Took tools and stuff from my boot, lucky i didnt have my sub and amp yet, but they managed to take my lockin wheel nut lock with the other stuff. so now im screwed for gettin the lockin bolts off, how do i get them off without damagin my wheels, im gettin a new set of bolts tomorrow. little bastads. they didnt get into the glove compartment though! had my cd front in there, so i still got my cd player! sweet as.
so any suggestions for these lockin wheel nuts without damagin my wheels too much? cheers.

Or wait for the little cocks to come back, let them nick your wheels, ambush em, get your stuff back and make sure they dont do it again.

ooh yes. socket over the top, you have to smack it really hard as the McGuard jobs are quite tough. Or you can ring McGuard in germany and get a new key, but that costs about £30

you can get locking wheel nut removing tools... sealey power products do one. Its a socket with a sharp left hand thread thats in a conical shape getting smaller as it goes further into the socket... idea is you turn it anti clockwise onto the head of the bolt until it bites, then work it on with a t-bar or impact wrench. Screws itself onto the head of the bolt then when its tight it undoes the bolt! Simple really... they aint expensive either. Nice to know its that simple 4 sum1 2 nick yer wheels eh
