Hi
Help please We have lost the removal tool for locking wheel nuts on our Terios. The nuts have the rotating ring which is making removal difficult. It was in a black cloth bag with 4 normal bolts which looked original
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Simon
You will have to force off
You will have to force off the rotating ring by splitting it, then use a 12 point socket that is slightly too small which you hammer on, or get one of the ribbed sockets designed for the task.

I've used a hardened steel
I've used a hardened steel socket with a left hand tapered thread which was made for just that job. I got it from my local car parts shop. It worked a treat, but you can only really use it once because it's Nye on impossible to get the old nut out once it's been removed.
