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

use the bond glue try to set them 8 hour. then remove them. I have a free lock OEM nut if you need I can give free to you

I bought mine on ebay with a new key. They look to be universal so you don't have to worry about matching up the key patterns.

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.

Thanks Khanh,
Did you mean you have a spare lock nut removal key or just a lock nut?

Try bolt extractor.

You could also do what wheel thieves do. Find a cheap socket slightly smaller than the lock bolt, hammer it on then remove the bolt. Had that done to my wheels a long time ago.

Thanks Cordovian but like I said earlier in the post, the lock nut has the spinning outer ring so that would not work.

I don't use those locks any more, gives you more problems than it benefits. And your advice says it all ... the thieves get the rims anyhow if they want them
Might depend on where you park your car, but I have never had any stealth attempt on my unlocked rims :-)
