Locking Wheelnut Replacement Time

[davey205 7 1 Cars]

Managed to snap 2 prongs of my locking wheelnuts getting them off while changing back to the 1600 rims. Recommendations please, what are the pitfalls what should i look for and what length?

I have searched long and hard for a good set and these seem to be the best ones i could find so far CLICKY

Why not see if you can find an original Peugeot set? I think there is still a set on fleabay.

The McGuard ones are not as good as I originally thought...

Thanks for the tip, I have been routing around in the garage and i've got a set from Saxo Vtr alloys, to me it looks a bit long does anyone know if they would cause problems with the brakes.

In what way?

 

I use them on 3 cars so if there is a problem it would be nice to know what they are

In a "they were almost as quick to remove without the key as they would have been with it" sort of way, using no special tools whatsoever...

This may help you or other members CLICKY

I'm not a fan of McGard locknuts either. The attachment tools are far to oft and prone to deforming until they don't work, plus as already mentioned the bolts themselves are far to easily removed from the car without any special tools. I've kept the OEM ones from the Xsara I'm breaking for my 309.
