Just a quick update for posterity. Thanks to the suggestions I used a 12 point 15/16" socket driven on with a hammer. Might not work if your bolts are over tightened but at the correct torque, the bolts gave up easily. Same socket lasted for a 4 bolts.

You will need a deep socket for the rears or an extension. I used a standard socket that was not a particularly 'known' brand. It's called "Fleet Tools" but it's still intact. FYI Fleet was made under the Proto umbrella of companies so I guess it is better than some import junk. Bear that in mind when selecting a socket and maybe if you have to do this it will go as well as it did for me. 2 minutes a wheel.

Thanks to all that commented except those that would have had me go to a dealer. Too easy for that.
