Should be the same size (if your talking about the one in the middle of the hub). try to tighten it a bit then undo it?

Ive managed to get mine off, it hasnt been off since the car was made, what i did was popped the centre cap off the wheel put the wheel back on and lowered the car then got the longest wrench I could find (borrowed off a mate) and managed to loosen it through the wheel. It was VERY tight and I almost lifted the car in the process.

Just had to do this with mine, they're done up to 280nm so breakers bar and 4ft pole ftw. God the bar did flex a bit mind, but hey all part of the fun.
