Wheel bolts, locks
Hi All,

I understand one of my wheel nuts is a”lock” nut, how do I know which one it is?
Thanks

One of the nuts has a false cap on it, you can pull this off by hand, if it's on to tight, then try some pliers with a cloth on the cap, if you don't want to scratch it up Wink 1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up.

The lock nut cap has a dimple in it. Mine do.

To me it looks like you don’t have locking nuts. You suppose to have a dimple in the cap like this> https://www.jgs4x4.co.uk/defender-locking-...ess-steel/

Thanks John P,
I guess my best option is to remove a bolt from each wheel and replace with locks nuts and replacement
Caps.

Thanks
