D2's have 1(one) anti theft nut on each wheel and a special socket should be in your tool kit for that, its fairly hefty

the other 4 nuts on each wheel are a special capped nut, the caps are not meant to be removed. I think a 27mm socket fits them, someone suggested 28 but I think that's wrong. I may be.

any LR workshop can help you . why were you trying to remove them?

I sold my D2 with over 300,000km on it and the wheel nuts were still good.

Don't ever let a tyre shop put a rattle gun on your wheels, they will **** your nuts for you.

My D2, the 27mm is fine. I had a parts car where I had to use a 28mm ( where the hell did I find that? ) and hammer it on. Probably because of tyre service rattlers.

Your memory must be failing. I mentioned this 9 years ago and you were the first to reply.

Not wanting to fork over $24 for another that also may break, will any of these Ebay ones do the same job?

Looking at that red handled one, I reckon you could easily make that up yourself.

Once you get off, you can still use the locknut, just don’t bother refitting the fake wheel nut cap.

A pair of multigrips will do the job, just don't squeeze too hard.
