I bought a whole new set to try and use the key to get mine off, no luck.Ended up driving a 17mm socket on and just wrenching them out.

 

Good luck

Yeah, just knock an old 12-point socket onto it, then buy a new set of nuts with a key.

Mole grips?

I have used "special lock nut removing tools" it is basically a threaded socket, that you wind on until it cuts into and bites the wheel nut. It worked well for 2 nuts, but then the nut got stuck in the tool.

Irwin do a nut removal socket set. They work a treat on that type of locking nut.

Have fun. My locking nuts nearly made me cry because didn't have the key and the plonker before done them silly tight

Here you go:

There is also an expansion set with more sizes in. Just measure the width of the locking nut and buy the set with that size in.
