Locking wheel nuts

[Sam Quick]

Hi there - help please.

Getting ready to change the front brake pads yesterday morning and about to take the wheel off, starting with the lock nut but Ohhh nooo the lock nut special key split open so can not use it and cant get the wheels off (suspect it was because of the cold and the metal became brittle),

Oh well - can do it later - any one out there know where I can get another locking wheel nut key from???

Thanks

Porsche Centres have a master set, and can supply a replacement key.

Brilliant Richard

New I could count on you - any idea of cost?


Thanks

Can't seem to find the price, I'm afraid. A complete set is about £45+vat, so something less than that, I would expect.

We have a number of these on the shelf, do you know what number you have?

Porsche price is about £25 + vat

Mine also split in the past. Thankfully they were original porsche. Took the split key with me and paid around £20 . If it was anything else I would have been stuffed.

Think im in the hands of Mr Porsche as theres no number on the socket and have no record of any number in the docs.

Thanks all the same.
