Just wondering if any of you North East Volvo owners know of any garages, preferably around the DL postcode area, that use the Dynomec locking wheel nut removal tools. Many thanks for that , an excellent description together with the video makes it clear how this works and which nuts it can remove . don't be put off by fitting new volvo ones , they are a new design now from italy , the wavy pattern is around the outer edge of the bolt which means the key nut has far more grip than the old type . As the rounding of the key causes the key to lift out of the bolt when torqued I thought that as long as the glue bonded sufficiently to hold the clover leaf in then there should be enough contact for the cloverleaf pattern on the key to do the actual turning.

The damaged bolt and key are now permanently attached to one another but as they were going in the bin anyway thats no problem and no spanners were harmed in the process. It seems you had the old "easy to remove " type too as the dynomec tool seems to hammer around the outside of the nut to remove them whilst the later type have hardened tops and a hardened spinning ring around the outside to prevent this.

I have been dealing with removing these bolts for 10 years now and the above method i described is the only way i have found which will remove the worst cases , which luckily are not too common , maybe 2 sets a year for me .

with the 12 mm hole and other bolts removed , lever off the wheel from behind and the head of the bolt will break off . Don't know about the AA, but the RAC will attend to seized wheel nuts, but only if you've got a puncture and are stuck. The lad hammered "blade 3" on to the bolt, then had to put his full weight on to end of a 4' breaker bar to loosen it off. I have found the cars where the bolts are siezed are always high mileage where the bolts have been on and off a lot of times for tyres and brakes and the cones have mated perfectly to the cone of the bolts together with some corrosion . If anyone has this type without the washer it is advisable to get them off whilst you can and replace by the current type.The Dynomec Locking Wheel Nut Remover tool is manufactured in house by ourselves, made from high quality British steel, we have been leading the industry for over 25 Years.
