Cold chisel and big hammer.
Stilson wrench and brute force.

Hi

Some cheap sockets hammered on tight will get these lockers off.

All your friendly Peugeot will do is try all the locking keys he has
sitting on the forecourt first.

Your lucky these are not the earlier Peugeot locking bolts, They are
virtually impossible to get off without damaging something, Normally the
wheel when the key is lost.

Hi,

I had these and had a puncture. I couldn't change the wheel. AA couldn't
get the wheel off either - well they could but I would have to sign a
disclaimer to waive redress against damage caused etc. Anyway, AA did a
temporary repair which held until I could get to the garage.

The garage/tyre subcontractor eventually got the wheel off and replaced
the locking nuts with ones of a later (and presumably!) better design.
This was done under warranty - apart from the new tyre. (The garage
showed me the notice from Pug admitting the locking nut fault and
authorising replacement)

(Incidentally, the tyre subby implied that they had a set of 'masters'
to get most wheels off!)

Cheers,
Bob.
