Lost locking wheel nut key

[Ronin]

:( as above.. can anyone tell from the shape what bit is requried? There are sets on ebay for £40.. but i only need one.

Or maybe should i hammer in a spline bit and try my luck?:ROFL:

I’ve got a couple in the garage somewhere. I’ll check the shape and let you know

How many teeth does it need? I have a bunch of them. Count the valleys in the bolt, not the peaks, and I'll see if I have one to suit.

Dealerships have master key sets, and sometimes Audi independents too. They may remove it for you for a beer token +++

Looking at the picture 19 splines, so this would sort you out :)

Definitely 19. Worth giving our sponsors a call, you'll get it tomorrow. ;)

I got one from them when I lost mine+++

ordered! thanks

Found mine, but it’s got 15 splines.

[HPsauce]

Thought mine were 13, and indeed they are (just checked). Thought they were always a prime number, 15 obviously isn't? :Confused:

[MikkiJayne]

Just odd numbers I think

[paulrstaylor]

Just random numbers I think? :ROFL:

Presumably avoiding divide by 6 so you cant use a torx/triple square and hammer so easily?

SB0 / 10 point
SB1 / 11 point
SB2 / 13 point
SB3 / 14 point
SB4 / 15 point
SB5 / 16 point
SB6 / 17 point
SB7 / 19 point
SB8 / 20 point
SB9 / 21 point

For anyone reading this in the future:

SB7 / 19 point key has worked perfectly+++
