I've looked into those sockets, but i think this type of locker won't work with those as its so shallow to the wheel. A local tyre place were convinced they could remove it but ended up chirning it to bits with an air chissle so i think my only option is to drill it in the hope it splits... Never did i think i'd struggle with a locking wheel nut

Thanks for bumper trim link, that was one job i managed to get done when i fitted the front coilovers so hopefully i've trimmed enough with the smaller tyre size on

Got mine through Tegiwa but I think Area motorsports can get these in as well

Not working away from home anymore so time to crack on!

Got the locking wheel nut off after much drilling. Wheel has some slight damage

and the stud is knackered but thats the least of my worries for now, a new stud will be fitted. Wasn't long before the rear coilovers were on, nice and easy job.

New tyres fitted today on the back so i'll be dropping the rear down tonight (coilovers raised up to stop the massive tyres rubbing before)

Pics will be coming!

If it is one of the the front wheel studs that is knackered it usually requires you to remove the wheel bearing, which is a pain in the ass, well on the 4th gen anyway and I cant see the 5th gen being any different. But there is a way around it. If you get an angle grinder and shave off the front of the knuckle there is enough room to whack the studs out in situ

Merlin wrote: Its impossible to fit new front wheel studs without taking out the front wheel bearing (PITA!!) Unless....... you take an angle grinder and shave off a few millimeters off the front of the knuckle. This will allow you to hammer out the old studs one by one when rotating the hub round, then flip it over and do the reverse to get the new ones back in

Shaving the knuckle:
