Depending on what type of clocking wheel nut it is get a socket that's just too small and a hammer hammer it on then come off easy go on youtube loads of vids

Dear Reecesaxo,
Ditto what GT says really, ( depending on which type of locking key is fitted to your car, ie the type with three prongs or the type that have a collar that spins around ) You will need to use a single hex impact socket, size smaller than the locking wheel nuts and bash them on with a hammer.
I hope this helps,
Vince,

It's got four pins, do i need to hammer the socket around the perimeter of the whole bolt e.g. the bit in between the wheel and bolt or the smaller bit which sticks out which i think is approx 12mm thanks

Around the perimeter then put a breaker bar on the socket mate.
