Locking Wheel Nuts

[Simon Hornby]

Hi Folks, Bit of a daft one this. I've just bought my 1st Lexus, a 1993 GS300 which has a tyre with a slow puncture. The trouble is I don't have the key for the locking wheel nut.

Now maybe I'm being a muppet, but ,seeing how the car has every conceivable extra I am assuming that these are standard items ie a nut with 3 locating holes in it. Can these be replaced or do I have get my drill out??? Or is there an easy-ish way to get it off??

Any advice would be much appreciated

The standard locking wheel nut that came with my IS had three holes in it.

I think they are all slightly different.

The Key should be in your tool roll, if not try your local Lexus Dealer

or if u cant find it anywhere go to any garage and they can remove it in a few seconds

or ask any yoof standing on a street corner. Most tyre places have the tools to remove locking wheel nuts, they might destroy them but without they tool they are useless

Thanks for the advice folks. I'll leg it to my nearest Kwik Fit armed with the replacement lockers I've just bought off eBay for £4.20!!! - Who says owning a Lexus is expensive!!!
