Many different patterns to them Kev. long nosed pliers will do it if they are notto tight, otherwise chisel them off and stick screws/bolts in

just use a 10 mm combination spaner and a hamer.first tap the key with the round end like a drift useing the hamer.then the logest leg on the open end one tap with the hamer and even the most rusted key cums undone without damage.

You can buy the kit and a set of bolts brand new from Ford for less than twenty pounds. I got some last year for my wife's car and it saves damaging the bolts.
