I have come across these type before , and a chisel and big hammer or an air chisel gets them off or there is a special socket that can grip on to them they should have one at your local tyre depot .there are a load of differant combination of keys for this type of lock nut so finding one that fitts is like winning the lottery :grin:

I had the same problem on one of my cars and got charged £15 each to get them removed. Like Woody said, use a hammer and chisel to get them loose, or if you have a welder, weld a big nut to them and undo them with a socket.

Na i work there-nuttin really takes off locknig nuts but the eky and an air chisil-i know-we realsied when wanting to swap an engine out locally that the car ahd locknig wheel nuts-a big air chesel , a hammer and sum brute force and ignorence saw them off.
However , i think there are only 2 main types of locknuts on market-the 3 pin type there is either mc gard or another type-go down to helfrauds and ask the specialist-they should know-i know ours do. But then again-we r irish :grin:
