This wheel nut key from set 02382L is the perfect tool for loosening wheel lock screws during tire changes. It allows for quick and easy removal of the locking screws. A wheel lock is used to secure the rims and tires against theft. The wheel nut key is intended as a replacement key for the original wheel locks, for instance, when the original key is no longer available. When used correctly, neither the aluminum rims nor the original locks will be damaged. This key is suitable for vehicles up to the year 2012. The package includes adapter 53. The wheel nut is made of high-quality chrome-vanadium steel. The conical sleeve is struck over the wheel lock and can be loosened with a wheel nut wrench.

To determine which adapter or attachment fits which lock, vehicle manufacturers use different types, which can also be the case for identical models. Typically, manufacturers provide a security card upon vehicle delivery that indicates the type used. Alternatively, this information can be obtained from the manufacturer or dealer using the vehicle identification number.
