Go to your dealer and they should be able to sort you out as there are few oem  key combinations...

As above - Dealer for a new one is best.
But if its desperate you might be able to bash an old socket over the locking bolt / nut or into the splines and undo with a socket wrench. It will finish both off though.

I literally just had to take mine to a dealers for the exact same problem, took them 15 mins to remove them and put new non locking bolts in and cost me £16 which wasn't too bad
