I think you are right by trying to get a key off ebay but if you can't wait screw fix would be ok you can do it your self its a 1/2" and 4 sizes woerth a look if you don't fancy it you can take them back . I wouldn't knock a socket on like someone had said . A garge would be ok as they done mine takes seconds and may do it for free. But I don't trust garges as some d**k head used a air comperssor impaced ratchet to do the wheel nuts up and cross threaded it and it was only in about 8mm
