standard bbs alloys?
usually with the (should be supplied with car) big plastic spanner
or with a large pair grips
or put on a pair of gloves and turn them by hand - if they aren't too new you may be able to summon the strength (have some spinach first)

mine come off quite easily, grab hold of the large centre nut and give it a anti-clockwise twist...

P.S. your flickering brake warning light will probably down to a bad joint on the back of the instrument cluster... I'm doing a write up of the fix this weekend...
