Ok, i dont know where the locking socket is so my wheels are stuck on.

I tried smashing a 18 on it but it just broke to pieces and a 19 spins on it so its too big...

How do i get my wheel off?! :(

there are socks you can buy that will fit locking wheel nuts

some garages will have them too

it's easy enough to drill the nut out, just take it nice and slow

easy mate, just take to a garge and they will impact it off.... we just had ours done today as the gargae who done tyre change lock the lock nut.

i also had this done on my old clio, both cars had no damage done to wheels it takes about 10 min and cost me 10 pound

batter an impact socket (thick black type) onto it, u'll shatter your wrist before you shatter one of these!

I used a bluepoint bolt extractor, hammer it on and as you undo the tighter it grips, a cracking investment but costly initial outlay
