I've lost the key and the original packaging with the key number and now can't get the damn things off.This is really pissing me off as I need to paint the drum part of thr rear disks and one tyre has a slow puncture.
They are the three pin type you get from Vauxhall.
Any ideas?
Prob best if you don't reply on here for obvious reasons,u2u me instead
Cheers

As he said just dont lose the key.
You want any with a perfectly round ouside because as you can see its so easy to get them, off if they have any shape to them.
Also find one as wide as possible so you can only get a socket in it not round it!
