Wheel Locking bolts and Adapter

    Hi,

    Need some help. Car was in for a service some time ago and they lost the adapter for the locking bolts for my car. It is an A6. I went to an Audi garage to get a new one, we tried to match with the set of adaptors they have, found the correct one but we could only get 2 of the locking bolts off!
    They said they cannot help me, so I dropped it into my local tyre company, as it needs new tyres and they spent an hour trying to get one off and they could not. I need some help now.
    What are my options, I have seen some videos showing special tools but I don't know where to get them etc.
    Can anyone tell me if I have any options?
    Thanks for the help.

    I drilled them out a focus before, went through about 10 drill bits and 2 batterys. It can be gotton off but takes time.

    Tell them clowns were you got your wheels last put on not to rape the wheel nuts, its a car not a truck.
