Take it to a garage that has a tool to undo them and buy a new set of locking wheel nuts/bolts? or buy the tool yourself and do it.

I could tell you how to do it but the last time I posted that information on here I was told off about it.

So I won't.

I understood this to be a forum that was set up by HJ for the benefit of numpties like me,why should relevant and helpful info be withheld.

Surely that defeats the whole purpose of the forum.

Because it tells anyone who's interested how to steal wheels held on with locking wheelnuts.

As if they don't know already! If the truth's known they probably invented this method.

A quick search on the usual online auction site using pertinent search terms will find a suitable tool for undoing the present mangled nuts, and a further search will find you a shiny new set of lockers...that will in all likelihood be rusty by the end of the month unless you buy a known brand.
