Hi guys,

Just a quick one! Is it true that the standard locking wheel nuts for the ST are a little bit s**t? If so, have you replaced them, and if so which make did you use, website, price etc?

Cheers

I have heard that before, but they are all a little bit Sh*t

Go to halfords and buy a tool to remove them....

Or SCC have a tool to remove them, you push it on then push all the pins in the back in and all the ones that can locate in to the socket

Any locking wheel nut can be removed with ease

they are pretty rubbish, they have re-designed them though so if you buy a new set now from ford they are good ones

they are slightly smaller internal diameter so the key is a bit more heavy duty so dont rip apart as easy
