    Hi all
    Need some advice I misplaced the nut remover for my focus alloys and I need to replace a valve or tyre but I have no way to get they alloy off is there anything that can be done ? I tried one from a friend but it wouldn't work. I'm not exactly car savy so excuse my discription
    Thanks

    Don't think it is that straight forward true centre told me I really need the original bit like most other models

    Weld a bolt onto the locking nut, and remove with a spanner.. when putting back on the wheel, use a standard wheel nut.

    Goto your local ford dealer they should have a full set of lock nut tools they can remove them and fit normal nuts.

    are they original alloys or aftermarket ones,if original maybe ford have a master kit to match and get them all off before ordering one as you need the code,dont mess as that makes it harder to remove.

    Yep, ford usually use McGard nuts with only a few possible codes and often have most in stock
