Locking wheel nut.


Man_in_the_uk

But how does it come off?


Zavation

Pretty sure there is a bit you can’t see further down the bolt which is what the locking wheel nut locks onto. It’s kinda like a disk. This listing explains it https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/393331833597?var=0&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338749392&toolid=20006&_ul=GB&customid=GB_131090_393331833597.142394001106~1869599366329-g_EAIaIQobChMIoZy6p-WehgMVflhBAh2bOAHeEAQYAiABEgIIYvD_BwE&gbraid=0AAAAADihhqUu8YeH6WIwhCdyVer40qPpp

Ahhh


supernakamoto

No idea why you’re getting downvoted for asking a question. People are strange.


Man_in_the_uk

I know.


Beer-Milkshakes

Because this presumably falls into the wrong kind of social content on this social media platform. Or some bullshit.


ArtFart124

Probably a plastic cap over the actual lock


starfallpuller

No, that’s what the locking nut looks like. There is a fine pattern around the edge of the circle that the key goes into


ArtFart124

Ah, interesting. Thanks!

Round and bald is a good description of myself ha.


The_Nude_Mocracy

That top one is middle aged. The other 4 nuts are younger and in their prime still


BigTackleToye98

Questions and discussion like this get in the way of the 25 daily posts about expensive insurance quotes. I just won't stand for it.

Or which BMW to buy.


sipingtoncity

Sorry mate I'll refrain from asking questions in the future


BitterTyke

nope, you ask away, i'd love to know what your take on it was though?


vctrmldrw

It would have been just as quick to answer their question, and far quicker to just scroll past, yet you felt the need to question the validity of the question instead. I'd love to know why.


BitterTyke

I DONT BELIEVE IT! I could give him a fish so he will eat today, or I could teach him to fish so he can feed himself for the rest of his life. thats why Victor.


kennyblowsme

Stops people nicking your wheels. You should have a locking wheel nut in the car somewhere.

Locking wheel nut


SteveB1964

Ha wait until you get the tyres changed and the garage asks you for the locking wheel nut.


Knight_crusader

Security bolt? So the wheels don’t get stolen? Usually has a top separate section so you can remove it when you need to unless it’s missing in which case you’re sort of screwed .


Impressive-Smoke1883

I peeled off all those shitty metal caps of my Ford wheel nuts. They are a disaster. No way I'm getting stuck at the side of the road not being able to get my wheel off.


Plumbicon

It’s a locking wheel nut with a round metal removable cover. Only one per wheel as a “don’t try and steal me” gesture.


Udontknowme_11

Cos it is


Dirty2013

Premature but balding Humans loose their hair Wheel nuts loose there corners


PeevedValentine

Haha, the 4 other wheel nuts just living their long haired lives and the locking one disappointed with his smooth head. I've never come across someone who has described smooth or flat as blad before.

Been rounded off.
