I had 2 locking wheelnut keys. I lost the one for the wheels (my stupid fault. So I thought the second one was for the spare. But it wasn't. My local garage had a few spare keys that he let me try. None fitted perfectly so he told me to bang the key on with a hammer. That worked for the wheels because there was something solid to hammer against. Didn't work for the spare though because it just bounced off the door panel. Finished up pulling the plastic rim cover off and then using a pair of grips on the locking nut. Need a new plastis cover now. The solid plastic type.

your picture size will be too big - either reduce it to about 1500 x 1200 or upload it to photobucket or similar and copy paste the image link into your post

also take to your nearest independant tyre centre and they will get the locking nut off for you
