Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / May 2005wheel nut tool
Does anyone know where I can get an extractor tool for getting the cover off a locking wheel nut? The black plastic thing with jaws on the end. It's missing from the toolkit of the Disco 1 I just acquired. Google search and a look at the websites of the usual suspects suggest that they are only available as part of a locking wheelnut set, but I have the nuts and the metal socket - I'm just lacking the means to get the covers off. Which would, of course, disable the vehicle in the event of a puncture.

Some suggest the plastic tyre lever out of a modern cycle puncture repair kit - havn't got one to hand to try it though.

Mine are a bit battered anyway - it looks like they have been twisted off and then re-seated with a blow from a monkey wrench. I guess the only solution is a complete set of new - CraPaddocks or somewhere seem to have them for about GBP35 for a set of five, which includes the plastic extractor tool. Since mine appear to work OK, I will probably leave it at that. On the other hand, if Richard has them...

Nearly 7 squid for a bit of pressed metal, that'll come flying out of a production press at gawd knows how many hundred/hour. OK they are moderatly deep pressings but... > On the other hand, if Richard has them... I lost one after doing the front/back wheel swap and the plastic tool has a prong broken off so if Richard has them at less than £7 each...

Sorry that was cover for nuts. Tool is available separately, just can't remember part number at the moment. Should only be a couple of quid including Tony tax.

As I said was near a dealer last week charged me £4.20 inc VAT for the removal tool, I also got a DZM00060 for 15p and some touch up paint. Sorry Richard but I suspect P&P on an ANR5436 would be more than 21p...
