The socket for my locking wheel nuts has been chewed, the guy at HI-Q have tightened the bolt up seriously tight and the socket got chewed trying to undo them. I dont know the manufacturer of the locking wheel nuts so how do i get them off i carnt get a new socket,
If i filed the chewed socket down a socket size would that work, its not the end that goes on the bolt thats been chewed its the other end you put in a socket

it would work if you filed it, but it would take you a while to do it!

It must be seriously chewed if it won't grip in a socket anymore!

Something like a pneumatic gizmo but with a drill chuck on it might be able to clamp down on it enough.....

Take it back to the place that tightened it too much.

Weld a big nut to the end & try again.
