Firstly, IMHO, FIAT/Lancia/Alfa lock nuts are rubbish. I had problems
on my Lancia where the key was such a loose fit, in cold weather it
just slipped round. I therefore recommend the fitting of third party
wheel locks such as those supplied by Halfords. I bought a set of
Halfords locknuts months before I got my 156.

I'll (try to) e-mail you the easy method for undoing FIAT/Lancia/Alfa
existing locks.
