Wheel Stud / Lug Nut: Description and Operation

Locking Wheel Nuts
Locking wheel nuts are fitted as standard to UK vehicles.

One locking wheel nut is fitted to each road wheel and can only be removed by using the correctly coded socket. For road wheels with exposed wheel nuts, each locking wheel nut is provided with a cover, which is removed using the cover removal tool.

Locking wheel nuts have different coded keyway combinations with corresponding coded sockets. The correct socket, and cover removal tool are supplied with the vehicle tool kit. Sets of sockets are available to Jaguar dealers.
