Go dealers and ask to borrow theirs nicely. Or if it's aftermarket you will have to get it taken off by smashing a socket over it or welding to it.

They look like aftermarket locking nuts so you'll need to do what slix said.

They look like an old set I had.

Look at this on eBay  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201681921129
