   Now Guys,
   After you think no more bad could happen to ya, you make a day to start and repaint your wheels, You get 3 locking nuts off without any problems the final 1 you approuch you cant get it out, the locking key/nut ends up wearing away, you left with a 4mm lip which you cannot get a socket over, how the fuck do you get it out??

   tap a thread into it, put a bolt into the thread and loosen it that way.
   
   OR
   
   Weld a piece of metal to the nut and turn it that way.

   I had this problem with mine, luckily we have a welder at work, welded an old bolt onto the locker and got them off that way.
   
   Hope that helps.
   
   Any good garage should be able to do it for you.

    it aint a typical wheel nut mate, its flat it rises literally 4mm all over the surface with 4 small circles for the pattern on the edges, has no raised bit like a centre or out like that, its sort of like the size/shape of a £2 coin
