one way to get them off if there not too tight would be to use a mig welder and weld an extention onto the end of the nut ,then try to remove it , i have had to torch some off and use a air hammer before on trucks that people have lost there sockets .good luck mike

i've had good luck with using a 12 point that comes close and a hammer , ive also ground out a socket to round and used a mig to weld in splines inside (built up with just weld).

Thanks guys for the advice, i have found a site that does 7 point lug nut key. so i will get a set of them shipped from the states as they arnt availible in the UK. Hopefully fingers crossed they will work! Otherwise it will have to be a get off however I can by the look of things.

you know right after you get them off you will find the correct socket , like under a seat or something.good luck.mike

Found the company that makes them and they are out of business. So it looks like you have your work cut out for you.

Snap-On sells some special sockets for removing locking lug nuts. I have a set. You might try some auto repair shops around you to see if they might have the socket they could rent you. Maybe call a Snap-On dealer if you have them and ask him if he has sold any and maybe he could tell you what shop has them.

Those are spline drive lugs (aka: tuner), you should be able to get a cog from anyplace here in the states that sells spline drive lug nuts.
