depends on the type of locking nut.

Ive resulted to banging a socket over one to remove....

iv had em where u can bang a socket over em...but then iv also had em where the only option was to drill em n use a stud extractor..or drill n then pull the thread out n retap.

Can't you buy a key for it :S

[Frenche]

If it was that easy, i would just go and buy a key so i could rob my neighbours wheels.

[northy]

to buy a key you need a code....and i take it he doesnt have the code.

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!!
