hugh Posted 30July, 2021 Report Share Posted 30July, 2021 Hi, I’ve had my wheel lock nut fail on me today and despite my best efforts, I’m struggling to track down a matching lock nut to remove my now stranded wheel. Does anyone in Melb have a ‘Master Key’ set by any chance that includes 2004 models? Cheers, Hugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got 2 different types of GT3 lock nut keys, has yours got splines or strange round head with small indents?

Skidmarks Posted 30July, 2021 Report Share Posted 30July, 2021 Go to your socket set, find one that is just a little smaller and smash it on with a hammer. It will come off. Then do the same thing with the other 3 and you’ll have a matched set and new master key for your set. Easy.

Cool trick, ended up getting it off with a similar method (I had 3 off, only had the last one stuck when the key failed) Replacing all 4 with regular studs and burning the stupid lock nuts!
