Basically at the weekend i was trying to get my rear wheels off to paint the drums... and my locker nut snapped inside. So now I can't get any of my lockers off!!
What do I do? If I take it to a local garage can they remove them for me?

yeah they should be able to, they put a tool on which threads the nut, or weld a nut onto it and take it off

So if I take in a new set of lockers they will swap them over for me? how long you reckon it will take? May do it this lunch!

depends what tools they have, halfords sell the things you need to thread them, about £10, but you need a high pressure gun to put them on, should only take 10mins if they've got them!

or depending on the type of nut you can sonetimes hammer on a socket that is a close fit

i used a 3/4 serated socket and hammered it on and got a wheel bar on it, took all of 5 mins to get them all off

you could drill the heads off then the threaded part would turn by hand.

I went into a couple of garages and none of them could do it except one, who wanted £15+vat per corner!

Order a new key then if that's all that broke. Then put some copper slip on the bolts to stop the seizing up...

I don't know where I could get the key from? When I got the car I was just handed the key, no box or anything?
