Removing Disklok from steering wheel

[Slartibartfast]

The wife (her with the chemistry degree) has suggested using liquid nitrogen to cool and shatter the lock, liquid air may be cheaper to get hold of and will do as well.

 

P.S. If you try this and loose your hands, I didn't tell you.

Gas axe?

[pshome]

chop off roof, park in rain, wait for lock to rust away.

[Station]

I should have this off in a few minutes! BRB!

 

 

[Sheefag]

Station, pause for a moment and ask yourself....., what would defrocked dancing Priest, Neil Cornelius Horan do?

 

[oldcars]

Yeah,shame a stone hit that when i last drove the car, its only a year old as well.

Im going to go at the clasp with a hack saw if i cant get to the bolt.

Fixed it for insurance reasons

[derskine]

Set fire to car, call 999, blag use of jaws of life.

[xtriple]

What about the freeze spray you get from plumber merchants and then apply that to the hinge, repeat then hit with FO hammer?

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Ladbrokes are offering 3:2 that Station will find the key within 20 minutes of removing this disklok

[Jim Bell]

Bet in play now.

Has anyone ever at any point in time managed a job, however large or small, easy or hard with a JUNIOR hacksaw? My understanding of the name junior hacksaw was that they were perfectly safe to give to children on the grounds you could never ever cut anything, not even porridge with them.

Feeling pretty good about buying my disklok right now

I've cut some plastic conduit before with a junior hacksaw. Regardless of whether a hard stare would have done, if you do as your "mama used to say" and "take your time young man", it work's.

They're pretty fucking effective for the money.

 

If station was a thief, you would have heard the swearing or the sobbing by now and he would be too exhausted to put up much of a fight if caught in the act.

[Captain Furious]

Not going to lie, I opened the thread with some trepidation expecting to find a "removed it in 10 seconds flat don't bother with diskloks folks" post, but it's encouraging

 

No doubt thieves can get them off, but I think their reputation alone is maybe (hopefully) enough of a deterrent to move onto the next poor bastard without one on

[Station]

I did lose a key for the crooklok on my Micra. After cutting it off with help from heavy hitting WtClaim, I found the key in my MR2.

Can anyone with a Micra check under seats for a Disklok key?

[HillmanImp]

I will have mentioned a few times before (but that wont stop me doing so again) about the time I went camping and the lock broke on my crooklock at 7am the following morning.

 

Luckily I managed to lay my hands on some hacksaw blades (without the hacksaw) and a mere 2 hours later I had this:

 

 

I then drove home with the lock on the wheel like this praying I didn't see any old bill.

 

When I eventually got it off I used an angle grinder. I put some cardboard over everything inside the car but some fell off the windscreen which will probably still be felt if you stroke the inside of the windscreen next time you see Barefoot in what is now his Scirocco.

Its a good ad for a disklok, someone should send the thread to them

[twosmoke300]

They would say that they would send you a key if you emailed them the number stamped onto the lock 😄

[Eddie Honda]

I'll have to look in that burnt out DAF sometime and see what the Disklok is like...

[Faker]

And to think some twat at thatcham got one off in two or three minutes during approval!! I've three diskloks, good purchase me thinks

[Angrydicky]

There's one on eBay at the moment for £20 start in Rochford. Might be a good idea to get it for the Sierra Base, I tried a Stoplock on it but it won't go over the steering wheel cover. The Maestro's Disklok fits perfectly though, and after what happened to my mate's Sierra, I don't want to take any chances with it.

[Sheefag]

All this talk of hacksaws has given me an idea....

 

[barefoot]

I'll be stroking my windscreen when the fair wife gets home in it tonight.

[Jim Bell]

How to wait for updates.

[UltraWomble]

Surely you keep the key on the same bunch as your car keys?

 

Or is that too simple?

[Eddie Honda]

You're supplied more than one key anyway.

 

(I say that, as I can't remember/unsure if they ever did them with 3 keys rather than 2)

[warren t claim]

After seeing aforementioned MR2 driving through Ellesmere Port an hour ago I think we can assume that the offending device has been successfully removed.

[SiC]

I hope it was Station driving and it didn't end up getting stolen!

Excellent prank, time to give him back the disklok keys then...
