Foned up a tyre place just now, and they reckon if i take the car down later on this afternoon, they can do it for me. | |

Mike has a quite good solution, you could also do what i just done, you can get an extension bar for a ratchet one end attaches to the ratchet the other is square, drill the raised bit of your nut thats on the car so you drill loads of small holes to form squareish area that is in recess, get a lump hammer and hammer the extension bar into this recess, the nut will be quite soft so the extension bar will wedge in, bang it in about 7-9mm then use the ratchet to undo it like you normally would if that makes sence | |

i'm thinking a multi hex. sommat with loadsa retractable legs that will go into the holes, which can then be turned and undo the bolt. | |

You could drill where the old legs were, and put dowel in the holes. | |

Dunno about the key mate i would think 1-2 weeks!!!, a tyre place will charge silly money i am sure, my car went into a bodyshop and i said how much extra to get me wheels off as they are stuck and they said a minimum £80 but more like £120-130, take ya time and doit your self. | |

i have just finished removing 2 locking wheel nuts with no key i lost mine, what ya wanna do is get an old socket and hammer it on the nut and undo it, if not drill it out, bodyshops normally, make a heat shield and weld a rod on the end of the nut then undo them but high risk of damaging the wheels, | |
