I have an issue with my 1st Gen. I lack the anti theft special bolt and I can't remove any wheel. I tried at the local tyre shops but no solution has been found. Anybody know how to ? Many thanks

 

I'd try hammering on a socket over it, then using an impact on that. These are specialized, using the same concept.

 

There are special removal sockets that will take this off. The problem is getting one that will fit in the bolt hole. Measure how wide the nut is and how wide the hole is. The removal tools are hammered on and they will grab the end of the nut. I'm rather surprised a tire shop wouldn't have the tools. Where are you located?

I'll try to get a picture of what you need later today. There are different sizes available. Now, if you can't find a tool that will fit in the opening, you'll need a DBH, chisel and lots of patience. (DBH = Darn Big Hammer) Hammer a notch into the end on the nut. The angle the chisel and hammer it around counter clockwise. Keep the other nuts tight. Once you break it loose, grab it with needle nose pliers and spin it out. If you have access to an air chisel, it will go faster. Just hope who ever put the wheel on last didn't really honk the nuts down too tight.

 

I'm in Italy my friend. Thanks for the advice, please do send me a pic of that socket. Thanks

 

Problem sorted out - I hammered a socket on it and used a winch to rotate it out. Then I replaced the 4 lugs
