	Hi. Long story short. Tried moving our BMW 325i convertible as it has not been moved for 6 months. Car wouldn't move and rear o/s wheel is not moving. Ok remove cap only to find a locking nut. Looked all over and can't find key. Oh dear. Now I have dealt with one type of locking nut before, with use of a socket and big hammer. This type (shown below) I haven't. Has anyone dealt with type and how did you do it. I believe it is a standard BMW locking nut. I don't own a compressor or welder, but do have a good selection of tools and a driveway. Can anyone help. Thanks

	I take it you've tried giving it a good slap with a drift to try and shock it loose? I'd be trying a torx or allen key in there tbh.

	If you have an old 1/2 inch ratchet extension bar. Drill a hole in the end and hammer it in. Might have to grind a bit off the corners to get it in but I have used this method and it worked for me. Good luck
