Locking wheel bolt help.

Need to take a locking wheel bolt off.

Due to it being reccessed into the wheel I can't weld anything onto it, I can't knock a socket over it and I can't find the key.

I've been told they are a pain to drill.

Any other ideas.

Cheers,

Jamie.

Edit: just seen that you can't knock a socket over it :o:

Out of interest, why is that ?

is it the bmw key type locking wheel nuts if so smash the head off with a chiesl and it will uncover the 17mm bolt head and undo like normal

It's one of the Mcguard ones.

And I can't get a socket in due to design of the wheel.

I haven't resorted to that yet!
