   Hello people im in need of a little help, one of my locking wheel nuts is jammed in so tight that it has knackered the teeth things up inside the tool so i now can't remove any of the other locking wheel nuts. Was thinking of knocking a slightly smaller socket over the locking nut and seeing if that bites or buying one of them removal sockets from halfords thats got a reverse thread inside. Basically question is will these methods work with my type of locking nut i have as its round?
   
   
   
   Cheers.

   ye it shud work mate, like i sed i had the same problem, got 3 off but the last nut had to have a nut welded on n tuk of that way, try the socket frst tho, muli spline will grip better, if that fails take it to a local garage, they shd only charge bopu a fiver

   hammer and chissel will get it off, or use a smaller socket. if you can get hold of a "turbo" socket, or a lugnut socket remover, then do that. hammer on, breaker bar to get it off, buzz buzz!

   Should be able to hammer a 12 sided 19mm socket over it, 6 sided socket probably wont go on.

    does the key still fit in the locking nut?
    
    ended up taking mine to dexel, had them of in minutes.
    
    i thought my key was fucked as it kept slipping out, but they used it with an air gun thing(cant think of the name lol) and they came straight of.

    Weld a nut onto it and get a breaker bar and a big bloke to turn it

    since your nuts are quite visible nd easy to reach get a pai of stilson plyers and it should turn it
