hi guys,enyone got a spear locking wheel nut remover number( 67 )you don't need,one of the small lugs in mine just snaped off ive seen second hand ones on ebay for around £30 but dont fancy paying that to have the same thing happen again.

 

In the US, the locking wheel nuts come from McGard.

If it is the same in the UK, then they can be ordered directly as a replacement part.

 

Different from the type fitted in Europe?



For the X300 / X308 / XK8 (and possibly others), these have a 2-Numeric code stamped on the hex.

different ... the mcgard use a "distorted cloverleaf" type of drive system

bet you a tyre shop(see? i'm bilingual ) could take one look and tell you what aftermarket brand matches

 

Go to Halford and get a locking wheel nut removal tool, cost £20..... It is a lefthand threaded tool which screws down on to the nut and then undoes it..... Simples...


Then throw the old locking nuts in the bin and fit standard nuts, if somebody wanted to nick your wheels they would go to Halfords and probably steal the tool too.... They are rubbish

 

OEM Wheel lock nuts have a chrome-cover so you almost don't see a difference to the other nuts. (important if you have no wheel nut covers on your wheels)

There are two different sets/thread - with alphabetical or with numeric code.
Numeric sets are for XJ40, X300, X308 and the XK8 Range. X- and S-type and newer models have the alphabetical sets - as far as I know.
