Angry Lost XR6 wheelnut adapter!!

I just realised I have lost the wheelnut adapter for my EL XR6 rims...the one for removing the security nut...

Doesn anyone know how I can go about getting a replacement?

I'm obviously buggered without it!

Cheers

a tyre place should be able to get them off, but you'll probably need to buy new locknuts.

Is it the type that go outside the nut? If so, just find a socket you don't really care about that almost fits and hammer it on.

Take it to Redfern, your wheels will be off in minutes

(any tyre shop should get them off for you easy enough)

Yeah they aren't the best when you think about it.

Try get the inside type when you get a new set.
