Help!

Hi all, I recently bought new rear tyres for my 33, the guy working there gave me back my lock nut key( have 1 set on the wheels).

But I just realized I cant find it anywhere. Ive looked everwhere in the car, my room, called the place back in case I left it there, and have no idea where it disappeared too. I always kept it in my glove box and never moved it unless i needed to. The other day I got a puncture and need to replace one of the tyres, but cant get my wheels off . Is there anyway I can get a replacement key? or would another one fit the set? I dont know what to do.

any help appreciated..

Do you have a record of what "Number" the lock nut Key is?

&/Or can you post up a pic of your lock nut in case someone else has the same one? mxfly & I have the same lock-nut-key believe it or not!

Otherwise, you can hit a socket over the nut OR weld an extra nut on the head of it OR you can drill a hole across the head and insert a steel pin and grab it that way.

Or see a hypnotherapist! No kidding!

I only took these a few minutes ago coz I had work late.. anyway, these were the best 2 pics I could get. Its obviously the nut on the top right,,look farmiliar to anyone?

just use a socket that is the same size and hammer it onto the lock nut. then take the nut off and get a new set...

so much running around to save ur old ones...
