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 :blink: . 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..

Ben

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!

      Unless you're fortunate enough to buy a newer car, getting an older style plate to match your name/car is difficult because they've already been purchased.  Unlike other countries, personalised plates are locked to the country and not region, so there can't be multiple versions of the same plate but with a different area code.  Hope that helps

      People use the numbers to make it look like letters to spell words/names, which is where the illegal spacing comes in. For example this GR Yaris

      Today's rock removal from my stock pile out the back into a 4m³ skip bin, I still have a bit to go, hopefully there's enough room in the skip bin, it will be close My daughter and her boy was coming on Sunday to help, but, I got possessed by demons and started work as soon as the bin arrived at 1230 today Lots and lots of barrow loads were achieved  Currently I'm sitting on the lounge drinking beer thinking of how I should have waited till Sunday for some help, tomorrow will be a day off, in saying this, my day off will involve prep and paint of my alloy coolant and PS tanks with wrinkle paint (Jackie is in Sydney till Sunday so the home oven will get a run curing the paint....LOL)

      That's why I said it is a meaningless term. Because there is more than one meaning that people can apply to it. When we said "highflow", that is exactly what we mean, and exactly what is done. In a highflow, they take your housing and machine them out to take bigger wheels, have a better internal profile, etc etc, and fit a new core with the different/better/bigger wheels.
