The saga continues, and with the aid of good information from many forum members, we were able to remove 3 of the locking bolts today. That's 3! Power bar, axle stand set level and the 4lb hammer all in use and by the time we got to the O/S front wheel it sheered off the internals of the locking bolt and started to round off the locking bolt key
Took the car down to a local tyre fitter who basically said, 'no we won't try to remove that'. Best thing to do would be take it back to the place who tightened the bolts. Don't feel like driving to Kent to be fobbed off. I have started to drill out the bolt, but i think i need a diamond tipped drill bit as the bolr is not playing ball. The remaining 3 wheels are being torqued up right
