					Hi,  As far as a steel removal tool, a piece of welding rod with a hook bent  on the end is what a lot of tyre places use to remove those caps.
Only the caps need to come off the lock nut lugs, the rest stay on . For what it's worth turf the lock nuts ( have seen any disco jacked up and their wheels stolen whilst parked) and replace them with no locking ones. You'll be thankful when you in the far away from somewhere and you have a flat and those easy to damage keyed lugs break leaving you stranded. Most of us removed them long ago .
 Cheers, Mario
