Thumbs up Locking nuts...

Do it with a socket mate...
did it on mine a couple of weeks ago....
i wanted to put on the EBC discs and pads on the front and back..
the locking wheel nuts were the crappy pin ones that were on it when i bought it...
changed the front o/s in about 20mins
come to do the front n/s and the pins just bent,tried for about an hour to do something with it to no avail....
in the end i took off the locking nut off the o/s and put it all back to standard..
tried to get another locking nut but as they were aftermarket couldn't source one...so i used an old socket ( just thrown it away as well as i thought i wouldn't need it again )
only takes a few minutes to do all 4..just take care thats all..an watch those alloys
new discs and pads are on the car now and i invested in some McGuard locking wheel nuts...much better quality and design...
