so I got a puncture :cry: and I'm trying to get the wheel off to take it to the garage to avoid the call out fee (since it's to damage to re inflate) I've used the locking nut to take off all the bolts but the final one won't budge, it seem to just turn around and not come out. Mechanic think maybe a special part that hell have to order from ford will be needed, but that seems like a lot of hassle (and money) any thoughts ?

Welcome, is it a normal bolt that wont come out or a locking one?

Ah ok.

You can try using a longer bar, you will get more leverage but if it's proper siezed on then you risk breaking the locking wheel nut key.

Other than that its drill/smash it off.
