Is the wheel nut key just spinning on it?

make sure the alloy wheel key is in right and use a scafolding poll or similiar to help lever it

done it, it was slightly stripping, time for some new locking nuts i think, one of the splines had slightly sheered, so it wouldnt sit straight, a little bit of hammering and so forth sorted it, damage looks like its not been on properly and someones zip gunned

just put copper grease on the new bolts so next time they come off easier.
