    Removing of factory wheel nuts.....

    When i bought my car i stupidly didnt check for the kit in the boot, now im missing a jack and wheel nut. How can i remove these small vauxhall wheel nuts? They are for 2001 astra coupe 5 star wheels 16inch? They look round with 4 round bits in in a square shape. Is it possible to weld on a socket and remove them that way?

    Cheers

    drill them out.

    you need cobalt steel bits, and some patience

    chisel off the shiney ring around the edge with a screwdriver.

    then hammer a socket onto it

    when the gagged ones are reinstated

    Cheers guys got em off! I used floellas idea since the bolt was hardened steel a drill was a pain in the arse, so we used a tarmac breaker pin to snap the outer ring off then a 17m socket to get the blightas off cheers guys
