Get a metail drill bit and drill a number of holes in the top of the bolt untill you can smash a 3/4 inch extension bar in the hole you made then undo them as per usual. Thats how i have done 2 sets in the past.

Or get the removal sockets rom Halfords

I have the removal sockets but they only work with 1s that don't have the bit that spins tho the outside of my locking wheel nut spins so you can't grip it with anything

Fil

Hence the S on socket




Flat blade screw driver, and hammer the spinny bit until it splits off , then sockets

Good idea will give that a go when I go out later just don't want too damage my nice new Comps

Can be done with holding one end of a hammer on the nut, then hit that hammer with another, not good practise at all but give it a good whacking and it will come un done with your fingers!

Erwins bolt grippers................. they never fail

well theres some mad suggestions here that involve damaging stuff.
the easy way is to remove the nuts that will come off ok with a normal brace and drive the car turning the wheel side to side at slow speeds to put pressure on the bolt,the other way is just short bursts of wheel spin. the force on the one remaining bolt will loosen it. thats a tried and tested method of removal that involves no waving of a big hammer and potential disasters with the back swing

mate of mine lost his years ago for his focus after putting on the spare.
All we done was drive around asking people with a focus if we could borrow there locking key to get all his off as there was only about five different types.
Third person we asked was the rite one.
Job jobbed simple no damage or nowt
