I had a big 'ol problem on my last A8. Could not get the lockers off for love nor money!

Plainly looking at a giant problem should a flat occur.

After giant f*cking about got 3 off, but no 4 would not be moved. (that effort used up two of the Audi locking undo tools- boy are they soft!)

Even went to a pro wheel guy who had the pukka, hardened version of the girls tool you get at Halfords. Defeated.

After all the tricks I could think of (incuding welding and grinding big chunks of stainless), I gave up and had the ******* drilled out at my local garage.

Took them hours!

Motto? Stick some coppa slip or similar on and don't let tyre fitters dog them up!
