What are these and how do you get them off?

Spline drive. Allen keys might work.Or get a 12 sided socket that you can hammer on the outside.

Try a wrecker for the tools that came with such a vehicle.

yeah hammering a socket over them will probably be the easiest way if you don't have anything that fits them properly

Hot Spanner will work

Or weld a nut to it, if you intend on replacing the nuts that is.

Bugga- i actually thought they were vestal virgins and i havebeen trying to remember how to get them off-
But alas it's been so long.

Basically a 12 sided Allen Key - if you get the correct size Allen Key it Could undo it or it will strip it off. If you don't have the spline tools as suggested just hammer a socket over or weld nuts onto them.

I run the same wheel nuts on my van. Needed a small nut to fit in the deep holes of the alloy and these were pur fact.

or like Mr. 'T' says, "get some nuts!"

You'll need to use a "spline drive bit set". From memory King Tony do one, otherwise Sulco will probibly have something similar.

not unlike head studs on some earlier model vehicle that I cannot remember the breed of ( Mazda laser!, cortina!, falcon, mitsi v6! - just thinking of the heads I've had off in the last 5 yrs)

$6 for the socket at repco they do a set but sellthem separately
