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? | |

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? | |

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 | |

buy a locking nut removal kit from Machine Mart (sp) or somewhere. just hit socket with a hammer, big breaker bar, and usually comes straight out if you have hit it enough times | |

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. |
