I need help! I have a set of mf10's - you may ask why i want to take these off the car, other than to put new tyres on? but i dont have the locking nut! Last owner is in Japan so its not something readily available to ask. Cut of the locking nut is three semi circular groves at 120 degree intervals around a roundish mass. I am going to LM and am worried about getting a puncture....

Basically can i do one of the following?

Is the nut standard) ie if i buy a set of older mugen locking wheel nuts - will they fit ?

does anyone have a spare locking nut? that may fit or that i can get a copy machined up if it proves to fit?

speak to OEM / Garage supplier and get the key?

extreme- can i drill / cut the existing nuts( the wheels are dirty but otherwise unmarked)

Get a socket that fits over, give it a good hit and then turn it... you will have to throw away the socket after, so make sure you have enough.

I may be wrong but I'm sure a few people have said they have had to have them drilled off when they have lost the nut.

I would get it done before LM - you so know you will be in trouble otherwise

Most garages will be able to get the nuts off, even if they have to drill them off. They you can replace with standard locking nuts.

just beat on a close fitting socket and undo..... or take it to most garages and they will use the snap on locking wheel nut removal kit on it

I agree.

Just be careful wth the MF10s!

You can get tools designed to remove locking wheel nuts - if you google, you should find something - IIRC approx.

doesn't make any odds... in the time it takes me to remove your wheels i may as well take the car!

I got one of my nuts drilled once. All other attepts to get it off failed.

Just took the car to a garage, 5 mins later it was done.

There was a small mark left on the wheel, but no other choice.
