Spare Wheel Removal was created by psybear

I've read a few other posts here re this issue but none have helped me.

I can't figure out how to remove my spare wheel. There's what appears to be a nut (see pics) but with a small hole in it. Not much room around it and I haven't figured out how it comes off if it is actually a nut or just a cover.

Any suggestions welcome. :-)

Looks like some kind of security nut have you got locking wheel nuts?

Nope. Just standard bolts. And I've checked all nooks and crannies in the car for anything that might fit, no joy.

could be a cover on the bolt. It uses the wheelbrace to remove the nut. maybe you need to use a screwdriver to prize the cover off it to get to the nut?

Looks like a cover over the wheel nut and its been punctured in the past.
It will be soft tin like so give a poke with screw driver or put a bigger size socket in and just jiggle it off or screw a long screw in hole and yank it off.

Wine improves with age.
The older I get the more I like it

Just grab with pipe pliers and pull to reveal the three pin security nut
