Hi,
I need to replace a couple of my tyres on my 607 and despite checking everywhere, I cannot find the wheel nut key.
I spoke with my local Pug main dealer who didn't seem to be overly confident that they would be able to do anything, he said that they wouldn't be able to order a replacement?
Any ideas?

I`m afraid its going to be out with the hammer and chisel to get the old locking nuts off if you have lost the key!

This happens a lot,the cars`s in my workshop and I ask the customer for the key.What`s that is the reply,and I then spend hours getting the !!!***++ wheels off. A lot depends on the design of the key? if its a spline type try hammering on an old multisided socket? if its got holes in the nut for pegs in the key,its bad news.Why not find a good ally wheel specialist who may have a special tool set?? One drastic method (before you start with hammer and chisel & damage the wheel)and this has worked for me.Remove the normal wheel bolts so the wheel is only held with the locking bolt.Then (in a sensible location!!)do a bit of accelerating and braking to try and work the wheel loose!!
