    Often with Fords it is in the owners manual folder as opposed to the boot. If you require a new one they are very cheap from a dealer (last time I had to get one it was about €15).

    1: Go into your local Ford garage and see will they give you the loan of the key to remove and then go buy some new lock nuts (eBay) Or possibly buy a new key from Ford/eBay.

    2: Beat a socket in over in.

    3: Last resort weld a nut to them and then remove.

    A replacement lock nut for the existing nuts should be cheap enough. The one on my BMW was worn and a replacement cost me only €10 from my local BMW dealer.

    OP, did you check in the boot, it maybe with the tyre changing tools in the tyre well?
