Hi guys, Glad I'm not the only one! The wheel nuts are uncharacteristically shoddy for Jaguar, but I guess mine have had c15 years of use and were mangled by the worn wheel brace, which I've now replaced, as per the previous link. I can recommend we all do this as it's a better bit of kit and fits in the original foam too. Once the decorative chrome shell peeled off the top of the nut, I managed to beat on an 18mm socket, and remove all but one of the damaged nuts this way. Important here to use a proper hex one rather than the more faceted type seen in some socket sets. Alternately, there are special sockets designed for exactly this task as per this Amazon Link, you may be able to borrow one as I did. We used one of the to snap the entire top off the recalcitrant nut, which I now need to drill out on the remaining collar part from the side and separate from the stud Good luck!
