still a little confused here lol
the stud is the threaded bit the nut goes onto
only the nut is the bit you turn to take the wheel off
only the nut has the lock bit in it.

i did my pads last night - those locking part of the wheel nuts are not fit to carry the torque required to fully tighten them.
is my key damaged or is this the norm?
 
I hate locking wheel nuts but unfortunately, they are a necessity in the world we live in. However, I'm more concerned about having the catalitic converter nicked. There was a news item recently where cctv captured a couple of scrotes stealing the cat off a Toyota in about two minutes. It cost the owner about £700 to replace it.

God, sorry, I thought nuts and studs were the same - I just mean the studs!!
You mean the nuts. Just remove the locking ones, and replace them with standard non locking nuts. Don't forget to tell your insurers, as they'll want to increase your premium, as the wheels will be easier to steal.
