Can anyone recommend me a tool or a way of removing the locking wheel bolts. The key has slightly rounded and doesn't grab, just slips.

I can't take it to a local tyre place as its not drivable at the moment.

I see Halfords have some, but want something or a technique that will deffinately get them out.

Thanks

A guy at my work uses a punch and a very large hammer and some brute force to get peugeot lockers out.

Technique is to make an indent in the nut and eventually with the hammer action, the nut will just wind out.

I've always seen it work for him, just be careful not to scratch the alloys.

The easiest technique is to remove them before they get a chance to round off. As I learnt the hard way.
