if you can't think of anything to get them off without drilling then drilling it is lol

I got mine off by hammering on a socket that was just slightly smaller .

Yeah, like Proz, I had to remove 4 from my Honda Legend that some twa* had put on with an air wrench 

It took time and patience and a club hammer and cost a couple of sockets but off they came.

I believe there is a tool for removing them and I guess a garage may have one, May be worth a phone call or two.

Good luck.

A lot of tyre fitters now have them, off within a couple of minutes but you are not allowed to watch.

machine mart and draper sell the tools

Hammer on an 18 mm socket as Proz says, sometimes the collar will come off and you can then use a 17 mm socket on what's left. Just be careful of hitting the wheel face as I did more than once

If you have the cake cutter type I found the manufacturer, emailed them a photo of the pattern together with roof of ownership, they identified the number and for £12 sent me the right key socket - a lot cheaper and easier than having the locking nuts removed - ajita@evoautomotive.co.uk
