you can get locking wheel nut removing tools... sealey power products do one. Its a socket with a sharp left hand thread thats in a conical shape getting smaller as it goes further into the socket... idea is you turn it anti clockwise onto the head of the bolt until it bites, then work it on with a t-bar or impact wrench. Screws itself onto the head of the bolt then when its tight it undoes the bolt! Simple really... they aint expensive either. Nice to know its that simple 4 sum1 2 nick yer wheels eh :!

ooh yes. socket over the top, you have to smack it really hard as the McGuard jobs are quite tough. Or you can ring McGuard in germany and get a new key, but that costs about £30
