Try smacking a socket over it.

Weld a socket to it.

Get them drilled out, £80 for the first one, £50 a wheel after that.

or, go to Halfrauds, and buy some locking wheel nut removal sockets, which should get it off.

whats the point of locking nuts if you can buy a kit that unlocks them?

there is no point whatsoever in them anyway.

if someone wants your wheels, they'll take the car.

Rob, 17mm socket, lump hammer, breaker bar.

I looked at them today in halfords but said you need an air gun, there nearly the shape of a socket anyway so if i get an impact socket thingy it should be easily done hopefully what tyres for some 14s then Robin ? need some grip lol.

rainsports.

have you got an old-ish socket set? you might fuck up the socket which fits.

make sure you use one which is JUST too small to go over.

Same with McGuards.

even the BMW ones with the splines inside come off with a socket, and the ones with those rotating outer rings, if you pull that off with some pliers.

they're all shit.

get a cheap mixed socket set, metric and imperial, and use the smallest one you can.

as long as you can mash the locking nut into a socket, it'll come off
