Locking Wheel Nut Removal in Norwich
Lost or damaged your locking wheel nut key? Pure Tyre provides a mobile removal service across Norwich and many surrounding areas of Norfolk.
We come to the vehicle, so the service can still be arranged when a flat tyre or inaccessible locking nut means the car cannot be driven to a garage.
When the Removal Service Can Help
Lost key
The original locking wheel nut key is missing and a wheel needs to be removed.
Flat or damaged tyre
The vehicle cannot be moved safely because the locking nut prevents access to the wheel.
Unknown key pattern
The locking nut is fitted but its matching key or identification details are unavailable.
Please be aware
This service is for removing locking wheel nuts when the key is missing and the nuts have been tightened to the correct manufacturer-specified torque.
Our removal equipment cannot help with overtightened locking wheel nuts, nuts damaged by a garage or anyone else during a previous removal attempt, or nuts that are severely damaged or destroyed.

Call-out charge condition
If a wheel nut has been severely overtightened, damaged or seized and cannot be removed using the specialist removal equipment, a call-out fee is still charged.
Previous removal attempts can also affect the condition of the nut and the available removal options. Describe any work already attempted when booking.
Important: We remove locking wheel nuts, but we do not supply replacement locking wheel nut keys.
Careful Removal With Specialist Equipment
The service is intended to remove locking wheel nuts while minimising the risk of damage to the wheel. The exact method and outcome depend on the locking nut’s design, condition, tightness and whether previous removal attempts have altered it.
Before we arrive
Park on firm, level ground where possible and ensure there is enough safe working space around the affected wheel.
After removal
Do not drive with missing wheel nuts. Suitable replacements must be fitted and correctly tightened before the vehicle is used.
Suitable for Many Vehicle Makes
We can attempt removal on most common cars and vans, including vehicles from Alfa Romeo, Audi, BMW, Citroën, Dacia, Fiat, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar, Jeep, Kia, Land Rover, Lexus, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, MINI, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, SEAT, Škoda, Subaru, Suzuki, Toyota, Vauxhall, Volkswagen, Volvo and many others.
Compatibility depends on the individual locking wheel nut and its condition, not only the vehicle make.
Locking Wheel Nut Removal FAQs
Do you supply a replacement key?
No. Pure Tyre does not supply replacement locking wheel nut keys. If you want to look again before arranging removal, see where locking wheel nut keys are commonly stored.
Can you help if the tyre is flat?
Yes. Because the service is mobile, we can attend the vehicle rather than requiring it to be driven to a garage.
Can replacement wheel nuts be supplied?
Replacement locking nuts or suitable standard non-locking nuts may be available when requested during booking.
Is same-day removal available?
Same-day and emergency attendance may be available depending on location, workload and technician availability.
