Wheel lock nut removal issue
Hello Everyone,
While trying to remove the wheel nut lock on my 2016 C300, the lock tool broken when removing my last wheel and stealership will not look at it stating they weren't the ones that put the wheels on. I also have not had much luck with local shops as they just tell me to go see the dealer. I rather not spend $250 from the stealership on a new tool removal kit (you need to buy the new set, removal tool and 4 bolts) just to get the last nut removed.
I was removing the wheel locks anyway as I don't like them/need them but now stuck with the last one
I have 3 wheels changed and 1 that I cannot remove because of a broken removing tool. Any ideas how to remove that last locknut? it is one of the ones that the outside spins so jamming socket trick won't work. I have the optional 19 inch AMG rims so not a lot of room between the nut and the opening for the nut either. Ideas? Thanks in advance

Thanks for your reply,
Where on ebay did you buy it? can you share the link?
I already tried 2 other friends that have W205's and their lock key pattern was not the same as mine.
I read somewhere that Mercedes uses 20 dif key patterns.

Might depend on where you park your car, but I have never had any stealth attempt on my unlocked rims :-)
