[Mk2] [Generic] Volk wheel nuts - key lost!!!!!!

[Leon.]

I seem to have lost my locking nut key

I'm hoping it will magically turn up somewhere but might not

What are my options other than drilling the locking nuts out? Does anyone know if I can order another key off Volk?

Being 6 sided still I might have a crack with a larger socket but will look around a bit more first

get yourself down quickfit or a place like that. Im sure they have these universal type ones that fit any nut.

ive got a set of sparco ones if the key looks the same you can borrow it and see if it fits???

Sorry just reread your post and you state their six sided so that means a socket not a key

If you don't get any joy ive got one of these wheel nut removers that are reverse threaded you can borrow instead

I bought one of these a few years ago, needed to remove locking lugs. The thing worked like a champ. (rachet was crap though and went in the bin)
I eventually destroyed it after using it with a impact wrench on some stubborn rusty bolts. By that time it had already paid for itself.

Thanks for the offers lads

I've found a 20mm socket fits very well, but its 12 sided so a bit reluctant to use it just in case

Luke, do you have a spare one that I could buy off you? Do they all look the same?

[craizeeboyuk]

hello mate. I've got Volks and my olds live near woking. Should be going to see them this weekend. If it helps you can use mine.
Let me know?

[GhostWKD]

got one but might need for my car shortly... though am probably in reading in a few weeks if helps, or a trip to see my buddy in farnham...

edit: just realised its volk not work, sorry im really not with it today

[Leon.]

Thanks for the offer guys but I was looking to buy one, not loan one - I need it forever, not just 1 time

Do you have any pictures ?

Its basically a 20mm six sided nut with a groove cut into one of the sides. All the others are 19mm - 20mm is not a standard size.



They're like this, in black. So the locking nut looks the same as those but is 1mm bigger and has a groove down one side (not quite sure why actually - I guess partly to identify it )

They look the same as these and on the second site you can order the removal tool separate

Newera wants £33.94 for one locking key

WHATEVER!!

Blimey

b0ll0cks

The 20mm socket was useless - the locking key sides ARE different lengths

Will head down to a tyre place or buy one of those universal things instead

[Leon.]

Update - a 6 sided 20mm doesn't work either - its too small, and a 20mm 12 sided is too big

So its gona have to be one of these and quick, I've got a hub dyno in 7 days

The nut chamber is not very wide, do these ones lock on straight or any old how? Just that a guy at a tyre place didn't want to use his tool as he thought it might damage my rims if it gripped at a slight angle...

My nuts are standard size 19 not sure if these will fit...?

What do you mean reverse threaded? Do they tap into the nut or something?

And what did you mean by your last sentence, doesn't seem to make sense
