Good luck! I still havent sorted it out but then my cars not fit to drive so that doesnt help.

I've actually still got the key so I just need a replacement from Shitroen. Hopefully I'll have a more helpful local dealership than the people you dealt with!

I was a numpty and lost my key, Citroen wanted £51 IIRC for a new key.

Fortunatly a guy at work had some of these

Tapped the best fitting one with a hammer then simply unscrewed the offending locking wheel nut. As easy as using the key!

Won't work with every type of locking wheel nut but definatly works with the standard Pug/Citroen ones.

Great link. Tool looks like a good design also.

Why waste that long drilling the bolt out!!??fuck that lol
you just put a retracter socket on a windy gun and rip it out? and if the bolt has the spinning rings they now put on to stop you gripping it with mole grips you just split it with a screwdriver first. i work in a garage and iv never taken more than a minute to get a lokker off lol

ask the smap on man-in-the-van for a retractor socket set!!

nice share mate.i have cleared all my doubts regarding this topic.so,i can do this myself without the help of mechanic.
