Irwin locking wheel nut removal tool.

Snap-on do one too.

Other than that, small socket, hammer it over. :)

Mate iv had this problem before my lock nut tool just smashed into little bits as someone had done the lock nut up with an air gun and they were bloody tight, Me and a friend undid it by moving the wheel back and fourth and hitting the nut with a hammer and chisel it eventually loosened didnt take that long to do and we were careful and didnt even hit the wheel we already tried smashing a socket over the nut but its hardened steel all it will do is crack your sockets i cracked 3 before i learnt my lesson

Yea mate take the over 3 off and put a jack under it, then don't be shy with the hammer, but be careful and keep calm they will come off

I would gladly drink that pint :beer: LOL well I just found the best flatish bit and hit it but the main thing is to keep wiggling the wheel it took us about 10 minutes a wheel and we did all 4 too, as i did try taking it to a few wheel places (i had two different sets of wheels on my car 14s on one side and 15s on the other because i was changing the wheels when it snapped lol) they said its gonna cost at least £50 to remove them and if they damage the wheel its not there fault i thought may as well pay myself to damage the wheel. If you were closer to me i would do it but your a bit of a distance

Someone broke into my car and stole my locking wheel nut:mad:

I had no option but to get them off before the thieving b******* robbed them.

Smaller nut and hammer done the trick:)
