Last year I was just about to move site when I realised I had lost the metal bar thing which you push into the hole in the alko wheel lock to undo the securing bolt.  I always had a problem lining this up to engage the end of it with the notches in the bolt. Faced with calling out the alko engineer I had a look in my tool bag and found a 6mm wide flat ended screwdriver which I poked in the hole and undid the bolt in seconds. I now use this all the time to save faffing about with the proper tool. I know a lot of people have problems removing the lockable insert that goes into the hole and have noticed when walking around campsites that many don’t bother fitting thinking that it is secure enough without it. Beware.
