locking wheel stud. 80

Yes you need some sort of impact l/h driver with hardened teeth on it. Trouble is a good quality locking stud has a hardened surface.

Those squiggly type stud heads all look the same but are all slightly different so keys will be slightly different. As in Yale lock keys.

If not hardened you could drill through the head with the same sized drill as the o/d of the bolt thread. Use a punch then pilot drill to ensure the centre.

If you hit it hard with steel punch and lump hammer that might crack it's grip.

A bit of heat might help, as in take it for a spin with a fair bit of use of the brakes. Just thinking everything’s contracting at the minute with the cold weather.

I had a feeling you might say that.
Big knocker gun then or a piece of scaffold tube on the end of the breaker bar.
