There was a locking wheel nut removal nut in a plastic box in the right hand boot compartment James, NOT a Vx one though.

Aye - I lost it in Kevin's garage somewhere ;D

I've had a good look. Nothing found :'(

It's lurking somewhere, I'm sure.

Nearly bust a b0ll0ck myself trying to get my nut's off a year ago, they were nut's that I'd torqued up properly too!   When I got them off I refitted with a very slight amount of copper slip on each thread... I'm sure I'll get blown out of the water for this, as there is potential for them to come undone....

Had to let a little common sense prevail...

You should try frequenting some of the night clubs around here and you will find that you won't have that problem ::)

A small chisel down first to remove the rotating ring depending on clearance and guts! :-/

Not sure I have the correct image of your locking set but if its the ones with three holes then they were used across the motor trade and many main dealers have a master set comprising of the 50 different combinations, then they can order you a replacement.

I use copper slip on threads and taper but tighten an extra 10Nm.....

Interesting point, standard torquing guidance would have you do this for the normal bolts. The locking bolts had to be changed on the wife's Focus due to a lost key and on them being fitted at the garage the fitter informed me that Ford had downrated the torque on the locking bolts due to the drive mechanism (cake cutter (?)) not being as strong as the hex on the other bolts. That being the case then copper slip and standard torque would be okay.

Thoughts?

AFAIK if you lubricate the thread in ANY way you change the pre-tension value (usually you increase it .. ie  overtorque) .. if you wish to lubricate threads you should reduce the applied torque by a factor to compensate for this ..


Simple guides here .. there are others .. far more complicated !
