Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I really should know my car better than this but have never had a reason to remove the wheels from my car until now. What do I have here? Are these locking lug nuts with one missing (10 o' clock nut)? That is the only one that fits my lug wrench. I assume I would need some kind of key to remove the locking nuts if that's what they are but I don't have one. Thanks for your help. IMG_20120620_070602.jpg

POST 2Original post

Two choices - go to the dealer and see if they can get you a key or go to a tire shop and have them remove that lug nut. I had the latter done on my old 944 years ago and it was pretty quick and inexpensive.

POST 3Original post

Have you checked in your trunk, in the tool kit, or in the glove box for the socket???!

That's where mine was...just had to do some digging. If not, dealer only part.

POST 5Original post

Looks to me like you have chrome lug bolt covers on 4 and are missing one cover. No locking lug bolt I can see from the pic. They just pull straight off and you use your lug wrench.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

perryinva - That's what exactly what I think it is. My lug wrenches (one from the kit and another one) only fit on the one without the chrome cover. I even went and bought another lug wrench but no luck.

Did some Googling and think I found my answer.
