    Garages and tyre places will have the kit to deal with this.
  • I didn't have the locking nut key for my wheels, the garage used a socket and hammered it onto the locking nut to remove it, a bit brutal, but it worked.

    Any garage should be able to employ a method to remove them. Just make sure the method they employ doesn't damage your alloys or the wheel hub.

    If it has genuine ford alloys / locknuts a dealer can supply a key for about £15. Have you got a little plastic bag with a coloured dot in the glove box ?
