| What i done before is hammer a 18mm socket onto it. May need a smaller socket to suit your wheel nuts but thats wat i did. I had 20 to do and it worked. | |

| I had astra coupe with the 6 spoke alloys. Only other thing is getting the locking socket onto the nut and spot weld it in place then crack it off. | |

| I've got one out before by chiseling a notch into the wheelnut then hitting the blade of the chisel down with a hammer when its in the notch. Was pretty quick to do. | |
