depends on the type of locking nut.
Ive resulted to banging a socket over one to remove....

Can't you buy a key for it :S
If it was that easy, i would just go and buy a key so i could rob my neighbours wheels.
to buy a key you need a code....and i take it he doesnt have the code.
my local garage are working on it as we speak :)
fittign the new pads as it fell off... lol
and they are using the old, fit a bigger socket around the bolt... smashhhhh it on and pull hard. they said they should be able to do it as they have done those type of nut before!!
