Does anyone have a kit to remove the locking wheel nuts off my 90?
 
I just used a chisel and a harmer
Then replaced the locking nuts with standard wheel nuts, didn't fancy fighting with the locking bit in the field
 
Being careful seemed to work, I am normally bad with hammers too :shifty:
 
Will this work on the round ones with rotating sleeve and the 3 holes in? I might try it with a punch pointed into the holes. Maybe wait until the morning when I can see what I am doing too.

I would happily pay £20 for that set, but will it work on loose sleeves?
 
I just worked on the holes, came off pretty easy
I believe it is the method of choice of wheel thieves
 
My locking wheel nuts have 3 holes in. Dont remember if its got loose sleeves.

You're welcome to try my key if you're not keen on chiselling
 
There are a number of different types out there. It's basically a nut jam packed with pins which move back and forth. They will move to match the holes / cuts and it should work? Not sure what yours look like but I reckon it would work on a 120s
 
For the sake of £20 it is worth finding out if they work I guess. I'm not sure if someone else's key would work..? Again, might be worth a try before I go down the brute force and ignorance route.
 
Just go to the local tyre place and bung them a tenner they have locking nut removal kits.( well my local one does)

I ended up driving round the back of the local Toyota dealership and got it sorted for £20 :)
