   i think all locking wheel nuts are different m8, i have them on my car but have lost it so i have bought a lock and wheel nut remover which is just like a socket that fits over the lock and nut to remove it.

   Ive been to nearly every tyre fitter place in my area and no one will do it, and if they will they want nearly £100 per wheel (F**k that!!!!)
   
   So today i went out to the car with determination and bravery and tried the trick of hammering a socket over the bolt an im so pleased it worked!! Altho i could only get 3 of them out, the fourth one is a bitch and wont budge!
   
   Gonna have another go with it tomoro cos igf kpt going today and have thrown the hammer at the car!!! lmao
   
   Onwards and upwards as they say

    Try hammer and a chizel aswel make a dent in it and try bashing it round anticlockwise, thats what i had to do.
    Had another one where had to get a nut welded ontop of it just to get a locker out, i never use locking wheel nuts any more and never will as that cost me £70 to get one bolt off!

    I thought about welding a nut onto the bolt top get it out, but i dont know anyone with a welder, hammer and chizel sounds a good idea i'll try it!!
