Gstraw Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Hey I have a celica GT with the Tech 5 wheels and was about to put on some spacers that I bought of J03 but have realised I dont know where my locking wheel nut is- ive looked everywhere. Will Mr T be able to sell me another one or anywhere else I can get the ad on for? or will I have to get the nuts cut off....oh no! thank in advance G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD1 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 MrT should be able to get you one, not good mate best you found out now and not along the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsolentMinx Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Mr T should be able to get you another, but i think you need the specific code from the locking wheelnut box. I had to get a new locking nut for my Prius when i snapped it trying to remove a flat tyre, and had to give them the code from the box to get a new locking nut. I'm not sure how it works if you've lost the box as well though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Red Celica Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 If you have the box that contains the Key and the spare wheel nuts there should be a little label with a code number on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordys_gen7 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 As above the key number is on a piece of card in locker box. However assuming you've list this too your toyota dealer should have a full master set in which they can match the number n either get u just a key or if want em changing remove ya old ones n put a new shiny set HTH!

Gstraw Posted October 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 yeah the nut is with the box so that is also missing. im so surprised! ive never lost it before. so if i dont have the code i can just go to MR T anyways? are all the locking nuts different for the GT's?

InsolentMinx Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 all locking nuts are different and random. kinda defeats the object of a locking nut if another GT owner could remove your locking nut best thing to do is call or pop in to local Toyota dealer. Have you checked the boot of the car fully, under the spare wheel, etc. etc. Would you have ever taken it out of the car and kept it in the house? (would be a bit silly though, as you'd need it if you got a flat at the side of the road) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyper-wrap Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 bang on a 12 point socket and get it off that way if the MR.T option is too pricey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yh just go down toyota mate n theyl try differnt keys til they find a match n order the number from tht. Have done it loads of times for lexus customers n its the same set for toyota and lexus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftershock Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Assuming you kept it in the car, check under spare wheel, behind boot plastics, under rear seats (was amazed what i found under mine) in where the jacks kept, glove box, under front seats, door packets, center console, thats about all the places i would check before a probably expensive trip to Mr T.

Gstraw Posted October 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Thanks guys Defo not in the boot since I took everything out and put sound deadening in the boot so that was stripped to the metal. Will check inside. It must be somewhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digitalman Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 The Toyota direction would seem the best way to go, but I do know that Halfords (an possibly other car factor type places) do a special tool for removing locking nuts, comes in a pack of 2 sockets and from memory seems to look like a spiral grip on the inside of the socket to grip the nut and then remove like a standard wheel nut. Not sure if you could reuse the nuts after though. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gstraw Posted October 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 If I bang on a socket will it not mess it up? Also where can over other locking wheel nuts from? A nice shinny set I mean! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boynxdoor Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Loads in ebay but as you have the gt wheels... You will need a flat surface unlike the 60degrees angle... So not sure about that, Mr T is the best option for a NEW SET OF LOCKING NUTS.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjc68 Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 I bought a car with no socket. Used this and they came off a doddle, but you do need to find someone with an impact gun (air gun). http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_196491_langId_-1_categoryId_255216 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WheelRepair Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 a lot of garages, and places like us, have kit for removing locking wheel nuts. It can damage the wheel, but if done carefuly should be OK. You can buy these kits but they are supposed to only be sold to garage type places. otherwise all the scallys would be able to remove your wheels... and locking wheel nuts would b pintless!
