Tighten wheel bolts to 300lbs for crying out loud!!!
In the end I had to use an extended power bar and stand on the handle and jump with my full weight on the thing, finally loosened off the 16 wheel bolts with what felt like a shoot gun going off and a shock wave through my lower body, the lock nut just sheered off making it impossible to remove the wheels.
Took the car to the local garage to have the locking bolts removed as they had the right equipment.
End result 1 mangled special lock bolt remover!
Next we tried the expensive heat machine, the bolts weren't having a piece of it!
Hmmmm completely knackered now to remove any wheels.........These has been been over tightened recently too, and possibly deliberately!
Hopefully a new puzzle nut will do the trick, but I don't hold my hopes high.
Not impressed
