5) Bash a cheap socket that is a snug fit on to the lock nut. Undo.


Yep, easiest and best option here - I did it the other week to a set of lock nuts.



I'll third that. Easiest way and it works.

Grab a socket and bash it onto the nut with a big hammer. Normally the sockets are a lot harder than the lock nuts, so they will cut a hex into it. Just go easy undoing the nut otherwise you will just strip your new found hex.


then throw away lock nuts, replace with normal nuts and invest in a big dog to guard your wheels
