Lost alloy locking nut Citreon Picasso

nino1

I brought a 2nd hand citreon picasso and wasn't told by previous owner that they lost the alloy locking nut.
Have puncture and main dealer says it takes 2 weeks to order.
Is it possible to buy off eBay or are there two many different types involved.
Any other ways of ordering new nut.
Going to dealer is hassle as I don't live near by, have to go and bring ID etc.
Any help appreciated

Have tried loads of places.
They all say they don't have the tools.
I've tried but couldn't get it off

My 'have a go' Eastern European garage of choice welded a normal nut on top of the locking nut and got it off that way

I am pretty sure that there is no tool available to open those studs.
Each and every car has a unique key made for it.
I think your only option is to have someone weld a bolt onto the stud and extract it that way. I got this done.
If you are in Dublin, Red Cow Tyres do it.
When you are at it, get all four taken out. Buy four normal studs in a car accessory shop, there are about five euro each.

Those ones are a pain to get off compared to most
