locking wheel nut
 
Hi Have a slight problem with one of my locking wheel nuts. I just changed 3 of them due to the nut that undoes them was starting to burr over and i was in danger of not being able to undo, well was in the process of changing them and guess what the last one that i get to it buggers up:boom: so now i have three wheels with new lockers on and one with the old one that i cant get off:cry: Dont really whant to buy a knew one just to get one off. Has anybody got any suggestions

Take it down the local tyre shop and they'll get it off for you one way or another!

Whack a normal smaller socket over it, weld a standard hex nut on top of it (if there is room?) or as above.

My locker went AWOL when I took my car in for a service in November. They just used a 'master' lock to take them off. This was at a main dealer though, but if that's not an option then most garages will have a way to get them off as others have said.
