Well peeps. It seems my locking wheel nut adapter has joined the many 10mm sockets and spanners in the realms of a parallel universe and done a vanishing act. If anyone is off there please bring it back. I've a wheel to change.

Remove all 4 and throw them in the nearest bin.

You could try a gator socket.

It might work, would be cheaper than a replacement locking bolt key.

You don’t bother with locking wheel nuts then?

Nope.
Haven't done since my first 407 about 5 years ago.
No one nicks wheels off old Peugeots.
If they tried the tilt sensor would make the alarm scream it's knockers off.
Besides, with the bolt covers on no one can tell.

The Peugeot locking bolts are so crap they aren't worth it.
I had a Peugeot chimp drive out to my house in a van to remove 4 from a previous car after I discovered someone had done them up so tight I couldn't undo them and subsequently kicked off about it.

You just don’t hear of alloys being nicked anymore, it used to be back in the Escort XR3 days when alloys were only on sport and prestige stuff, but now alloys are standard on all but the cheapest variants. Plus aftermarket alloys have become less expensive.
Hang on I’ll just nip and check me Z’s not been left on four house bricks!! :lol: :lol:

That's why many on here tell you to ditch the Pug locking nuts and get another type, those pins are Crap with a CAPITAL C. To be fair they are exactly the same on shitroens, though I did like my car.

Try to put something in it's place just to get the locking nut of, then do as most BIN EM.
