    info on some renault wheels

    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

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

    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

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