Can a locking wheel nut be removed?

Yes. The good news is that a locking wheel nut can be removed damage-free, even without the original key. Garages and mechanics use specialist tools such as:

• Reverse-thread extractors
• Impact sockets
• Manufacturer-specific removal tools

DIY attempts often damage the wheel or strip the nut. That's why we always recommend hiring a specialist for this type of job.

Will RAC remove a locking wheel nut?

RAC and other breakdown companies can sometimes remove a locking wheel nut at the roadside. But unfortunately, it’s not guaranteed. It depends on:

• The condition of the nut
• Tool availability
• Whether removal is needed to complete the repair

A local garage or mobile specialist might be a better option for more difficult jobs, as they carry purpose-designed tools to minimise wheel damage.

That said, the exact price you pay will depend on:

Tip: Ask that any future re-attachment of nuts on your wheel be done by hand and tightened up with a torque wrench (rather than an air gun). This will hopefully stop the bolts from locking in the future.
