there are funny shaped locking bolts on them which are
surface rusted to death ,as it happens i have not got the
key to unscrew them either :crap:

any ideas before i slit the screws and turn them over with the
good old "flat blade & fooking hammer" method ? :smokin:

I used plyers on mine to hold onto the remaining screw but your method will do just aswell :-)

had them on a 19 once, i had a flat blade screw driver just the right size to fit between the pin and flat edge and could turn them like a normal screw

screws are not rust welded in situ :scared:

I've done that as well on some wheels. Worked a treat.

If all else fails drill the head off carefully.
