has your mate got the locking wheel nut number supplied with the kit, if not hes gonna have to try and remove it forcefully. you can buy wheel nut removing kits, i had the personal experience of drilling and chiselling one off.

i doubt very much if he will get a replacement then.  is it the old three pin locking wheelnut type.  you may be able to get one off someone on here, not sure if the keys are exactly the same though.  otherwise i can only think off taking it to a garage and have the wheel nuts extracted off.

When I had Kwik Fit change my tyres once they didn't bother asking for the locking nut adapter, which was the three pin type, but they managed to butcher it off anyway.
