How do you remove a Toyota locking wheel nut?

How to Remove a Toyota Locking Wheel Nut
To remove a Toyota locking wheel nut, you have a few options depending on the situation:
1. Using a Locking Wheel Nut Key: If you have the locking wheel nut key, the process is similar to removing standard wheel nuts. One end of the key will have a hole that fits a standard wheel brace. Slot the other end, the keyed end, onto the locking wheel nut and turn the wheel brace anti-clockwise until it loosens. Once it’s loose enough, you can remove it with your fingers.
2. Using a Locking Lug Nut Remover Set: If you’ve lost the key, you can use a locking lug nut remover set. These sets are available at auto parts stores or online. They typically include a special socket that fits over the locking lug nut. You can attach the socket to a ratchet or impact wrench and use it to remove the nut. The reverse spiral teeth on the socket dig into the lug nut and spin it off. Keep in mind that the lug nut may be ruined in the process, so you’ll need to buy a new one.
3. Ordering a Replacement Key: If you have the code for the locking wheel nut, you can order a replacement key from your local dealer. Check your car’s handbook or document file for the code. With the code, you can easily order a replacement key.
4. Seeking Professional Help: If you’re unable to remove the locking wheel nut on your own, you can contact a breakdown service or a professional locking wheel nut removal service. These services have the expertise and tools to remove the nut without damaging your wheels .
Remember to partially loosen the wheel nuts before jacking up the car and only remove the nuts fully when the wheel is fully jacked off the ground. When putting the wheel back on, partially tighten the wheel nuts before letting the car down off the jack, and give them a full and final tighten when the car is back on the ground.
Please note that the specific method for removing a Toyota locking wheel nut may vary depending on the model and year of the vehicle. It’s always a good idea to consult your vehicle’s manual or contact a professional if you’re unsure.
