Hi there,
So I'm getting a bit desperate here, my locking whel bolt key broke a few weeks ago and I've tried a good bunch of the most common methods to remove locking wheel bolts / nuts but none of them have been working so far. I have the OEM locking wheel bolts sold by Audi on my 2013 B8.5 A4. Since they have a spinning collar, which most typical lock nuts don't have, it's a different kind of monster. Anyways, I removed said collar to try a wheel nut extractor kit and it wouldn't grip, probably in part due to the alloy used and how thin the head of the bolt is. Tried hammering a 12 point socket, same result. Sent it to a shop to weld it, but they were unsuccesful and ended up with a 250$ bill. That shop recommended me a professional welder but the only one in my area told me he's booked for well over a month.
Anyone ever had this problem here or had a similar issue?
Cheers.
