The Locking Wheel Nuts should have a letter on the collar , If so then go to your local FMD and he SHOULD be able to supply one otherwise its brute strength and a locking wheel nut remover, which are available from MOST well know Automotive outlets

I live North Scotland, so fairly honest land. I changed the key for the wheel cover to Stainless Steel button bolt with allen-socket head. I also have a couple of spare keys. Regards the wheel nut, just use a large stud extractor on a 3/4 drive socket.

Fortunately the seller provided four new locknuts, and was able to remove the old ones, as he agreed the adapter should have been provided. The local Ford main dealer was little help.

Colin.
Anything like that is far too technical for a FMD,or it's against the health and safety at work act,or it's not going to make enough bread for them
