	It hasn't got a collar on it, its basically got a few splines at the bottom and a dome on the top, ill try to get a pic up as I'm on my phone. The sockets are just spinning on it as the splines have sheered off. 3i_gaz, if I can't get this off with what my dad has at work, ill give you a shout :thumbs:

	If your stuck feel free to whizz down to my garage on Liverpool I'll remove it for a small fee :)

	If all else fails, get stuck into it with a few cobalt drill bits. They will go through it like a knife through shit.

	Those collars can be knocked off though. He doesn't actually state there's a collar around the bolt.

	Because the bolt has a collar on it designed to stop being getting them off

	How come the sockets keep turning around the outside of the bolt? Got a picture?
Bonney	posted on 14th May 12 at 19:09
	No, its on a Lexus with a set of aftermarket wheels on it, Not much space around the nut, its a pretty tight fit

	Is it the Vauxhall locking nut with the spinning ring around it? If so you need to remove the ring first, I do this with a cold chisel then whack a socket around the outside of it. Is there much room in the bolt hole? Maybe weld onto the wheel bolt.

	sockets arent doing anything, started off at a 19 and now down to a 16 and it still wont budge. Think the tyre place overtightened it when i had a puncture fixed and shredded the bolt!

	Next socket down, imperial one if the next metric one down won't even look at it

	What is the best way of doing this, Got one that is rounded off and need it taking off, putting a smaller socket on doesnt work as it just spins on it. Anyone got any suggestions?
