Special tool

[Cesare]

hi

Trying to remove my wheels today , I realized I couldn t find the "antitheft tool" to remove the secial bolt !!!

Anybody can tell me where it usually is and what could I do if I don t find it ?

I think this must be an aftermarket thing, as in the UK neither SE's or S2s have locking wheel nuts.

In other cars it is normally kept with the spare (under the boot carpet), but it could also be missing....

There are many different types of anti-theft locking bolts.
It would help if you could take a picture, so that someone could advise you of the best solution.
Without this info I would try your nearest tyre fitting specialist - they normally have an assortment of tools for getting around this problem.

Four ideas:-

Try any tyre place for a universal socket...

Hammer and chisel...

Drill the head off and extract..

One of these

thanks for your help , I don t have a chance to provide you with pictures, but it has a clover shape ...

Have you looked in the boot under the carpet where the spare is kept or the area where the tool box lives (or even the glove box)

I know these are obvious places but its worth a good dig around in there.

sorry Gary I must remember to read all prev. post before I jump in.

try the glove box and center console space; then check the boot as mentioned and then go to the tire place as Sy says . . .

or even in the tool box....
