use a torx bit.

Any tool shop should have one that will grip them without wrecking them.

What Steve actually, would need to be something forged though. It'd need to be a big belter of a torx bit for it to turn that as well.

Might even be able to hammer the shank of an allen key into it?

I have a large multiple spline bit. Well all sizes actually so one of those will work if the nova keys don't

TBH they look like they would come out pretty easy compared to most locking wheel nuts.

As said torx or allen key sockets will take them out.The locking wheel nut shouldnt be too tight anyway.

shouldnt really use 2 sets of locking bolts, as they cant and arent supposed to be torque up to the same level as normal bolts are they arent usallyt high tensil

Why would that warrant the need for two sets?

im guessin hes trying to say they arent that hard to get off so it makes its twice as hard for a potential thief if you have 2 seperate sets

tbh that's just like saying you need to use two buckets to wash your car.
