My S has been in hibernation for a while. It was serviced in late aug/early sept by Honda.

I used it for work today, it made a noise then started grating on the brakes on the way back. The pad is either worn to nothing or has come apart on the rear nearside.

So i go to whip the calipers off.. No f@#king locking adaptor.

Having one of those weeks

I f@#king hate lock nuts with a passion, mine are off all the time unless I have to leave it anywhere (which is very rare)

Luckily i have the box so can order a new key

What a pita though

I had to have mine cut off as the manufacturer was out of business...

First thing I did on the lotus was bin the locking wheel nuts.

Maybe i should do that. It never stays anywhere

New bit headed over from ze fatherland mcgard

you can easily remove them, just hammer on a slightly larger socket and run it off with a air gun......we had to do this all the time at the dealership i worked at, people always lose their keys and not always time to order new one.

Mugen wheelnuts are heptagonal.

You still need an adaptor, but it's wonderfully simple a solution.

Yeah i'll just wait for the key now as its not my daily.

Annoying

cool, good luck.

for anyone reading, use a larger 12 point socket hammered on, works like a charm but destroys sockets lol
