Method and tool (46, 50) for removal of the locking element (42) from a centre-lock wheel hub with a wheel nut threadingly engaged with the wheel hub, where the locking element engages with the wheel hub (24) and with the wheel nut (26) thereby to prevent relative rotation of the wheel hub and the wheel nut. Removal is made easier by fitting an extraction apparatus (50) having a first end with an externally threaded section, threadingly engaged with a corresponding internal thread (56) of the locking element, a second end provided with an engagement element for imparting rotational torque to the extraction apparatus, and a bearing surface (60, 62), located radially outside the externally threaded section and axially displaced from the externally threaded section, contacting the wheel nut.
