    Dear Reecesaxo,
    Ditto what GT says really, ( depending on which type of locking key is fitted to your car, ie the type with three prongs or the type that have a collar that spins around ) You will need to use a single hex impact socket, size smaller than the locking wheel nuts and bash them on with a hammer.
    I hope this helps,
    Vince,

    It's got four pins, do i need to hammer the socket around the perimeter of the whole bolt e.g. the bit in between the wheel and bolt or the smaller bit which sticks out which i think is approx 12mm thanks

    Around the perimeter then put a breaker bar on the socket mate.
