Gen vaux ones are a bitch Ive just done 4 on my car.
The hammering on a slightly smaller socket doesnt work due to the free spinning outer ring.
What I did was to weld the ring on then hammer and locking wheel nut removal socket on job done.
Ive never had any luck with welding on a nut and vau said they only have keys for current models

Surely you can hammer and screw driver the collars off and then use a socket?

A friend of mine done the same and they removed all 4 of his when he bought a new set from them, they charged no labour just about 30 quid for a new set of nuts
