hi everyone here,s a story.bought a 307cc 3 weeks ago noticed other day had a flat tyre when i took it to the tyre garage i could not find wheel nut key i had to take it back to garage i bought it from arnold clark.they also failed to find it as the wheel key for my car only fits my car and no replacement can be got they r now trying to drill the nuts off . if theres any mechanics out there i would like to know is this a safe practice as im worried they will damage the thread or the torque will not be right worst could the wheel fall off cheers concerned

Cant think of any other way my self. could you have got in touch with the previous owner? Threads can always be re-threaded or you could push for new hubs to be fitted all round as a safety and peace of mind issue.If they burn them off they should replace the hubs as they will have fried the grease in the hub itself.
I imagine they will use easy outs to re-move the bolts should be no problem.
