Locking wheel nut key lost

GB · 2014-04-01T14:40:40+00:00

The stupid ******s at a local well-known firm of tyre fitters have lost the key for my wheel nuts. They put the wheel back, locked it, and kept the key, which they cannot now find. What is the simplest solution? Ideally, I just need a replacement key. It's a Volvo C70 56 reg. I assume these are original Volvo spec.

A torque wrench incorrectly set is inaccurate too. Are you really saying it's not possible to make an air wrench which torques to the correct figure? They've been using such devices in car assembly plants for years...

They're not all the same size.

I got a key (which they had in stock) from my VW dealer for a tenner. Presumably your local Volvo dealer can offer the same service.
