How can I get a locking wheel nut off my escort 1600 R reg if I have not got the key for it.

Try nicking a set of wheels from a car without locking wheel nuts ?

Seriously though, maybe your local garage that may be able to help you.  I'm sure it happens a lot.

i know it is possible to break it off with a chisel and hammer, or some tools like that lol. obviously quite a drastic thing though. i think cockney_si's idea of going to a garage would be good!

my local garage took 8 hours to remove a locking nut on a fiat once, i would expect u to ask them before they have a look in case they charge u to take it off

you should be able to knock an old socket or one you dont mind damaging onto it, it has to be quite a tight fit, and then undo it with your socket wrench.

This is assuming you are prepared to replace the locknuts afterwards.
