this is an easy one, get the next smaller socket down, hammer it on it, it will go, and be tight enough to grip to bolt to take it out :thumbs: | |

You can get a wrench somewhere that will fit any sort of nut, that might work... | |

Could have a drive to Mansfield and leave it parked in the centre, can guarantee within half an dhour they'll be undone, can gurantee you'll still have your wheels though!! | |

we use a socket with a reverse thread so as you undo the locking nut the socket grips onto it and undoes them, took me 2 mins to get some off a boxter this week. easy with the proper tools | |

You can buy a tool which has loadsa pins in the surface of the socket, its specially for removing things like this. Trust someone from near Luton to know lol | |

a freind of mind did this, he had someone weld a nut to whats left of the wheelnut, then undid it that way. if you do this make sure you coat your alloy thick in something (cant remember what he used...vaselene or grease maybe) so any stray splats of weld dont stick to your wheels | |
