Default Dynomec Mocking Wheel Nut Remover

Hi I have a Nissan 350z but kwik fit stole the locking wheel nut. I have ordered from Nissan but will take 8 weeks for it to arrive. My pads need changing desperately so I found this...
Dynomec

I have seen that they are around £125 but does anyone know where I can get them from? I go to their website but I cant buy it on there?

Thanks

Im sure its priced at that point for two reasons :

1. Low production hence costs high
2. Deter scumbags from buying for the purpose of stealing wheels.

Kind of makes a mockery* of having locking wheel nuts



*no deliberate pun intended on your title

this kit is standard issue to all aa/rac patrols, if your a member call them saying you have a puncture but no locking key when the patrol shows up bung him a drink to remove all four for you !!

there is a phone number and address on their website for enquiries about buying this product, but I would assume that there will be a few questions asked.

I used to work for a nissan dealer in leicester and we had a master set and were always removing them for customers that lost the original, never took 8 weeks to get a spare though??? maybe you could try a few nissan dealers in your area to see if they have a master set?
p.s i now work for the RAC and we use that dynomec kit, its good but alot of money for you to use once!

Where about's are you?

Dynomec are based in Castleford, West Yorkshire, I went to them when my McGard locking nut and adaptor shattered together. Slipped him £30 and literally less 5 minutes later all four were off!

They don't sell the kit to the public for obvious reasons but can help locate a garage that have a kit near you or you can go to them and they'll be more than happy to help you out for a small fee (see above).

When I had that trouble I took the classic Mini to a Rover garage and they were able to remove the locking wheel nuts which some plonker had done up so tight that the corners were gone off the nuts.

They didn't charge too much for the job.

I had a similar issue - I live not too far away from Castleford, so I took a trip over...

if you don't want to buy the tool, you can give them a tenner to remove the wheel nut from each wheel or £30 for all four and then buy a new set of locking wheel nuts...

The cost is in the fact that they mould a piece of metal into a key for your wheel nuts using the tool. Quite embarrassing really - I had managed to remove 2 locking nuts myself - and they'd taken me around an hour each.

He had the remaining 2 locking wheel nuts off in 2 minutes flat using that tool

Every AA van is issued with a locking wheel nut removal tool. No vans are issued with a drill.
