Calling all LR owners with wheel lock nuts.

[Caveman]

Hey guys.....I'm in need of your collective help again.

My replacement SLS air bags finally arrived from the US yesterday.

I started working on the car to replace them, only to find that the wheel lock nut tool in my tool kit is the wrong one

Anyone have a 'J' lock nut tool. The one in my kit is an 'E'.

I just want to replace these air bags so I can drive my f*&kin car......it's been sitting in my garage pretty much since I bought it.

Cheers
Paul

that would be fairly frustrating to say the least.....

wish i could help, but unfortunately can't. Hope you get sorted soon though

[Scallops]

I'll check mine tonight (and bring it to the meeting if it's the right one).

[Caveman]

Thanks Scallops,

If I can get some replacement nuts today, then we can just swap them over at the meeting using your tool.

Sorry mate, had to have a laugh as I can understand the frustration. I have some unlocking doovy in the car, will bring mine as well, see if that works. I will be getting rid of mine when I can and just have a normal nut...so to speak ,

Thanks Stevo, but I always thought you were a normal nut.

Actually I just rang LR Spares in the Valley and they had the correct lock nut tool in stock, on the shelf. I was amazed......even more amazed that it only cost $17 as well.

Finally a happy outcome from a phone call to LR.

I was going to replace my lock nuts too, but depending on the alloy wheel you have, they can cost up to $40 each.

I'll stick with my lock nuts unless I can find a cheaper alternative.

Cheers

Aww shucks Paul, I always thought I was an abnormal nut . Hmmm $40 each x 5, could be a down payment on a winch bar instead ,

Glad you could sort it, Caveman - mine was an "E".

No worries...thanks for the offer though.

You'd better watch your wheels....my "incorrect" tool is an 'E' as well.

Did I say E? - I meant C
