Tried taking the front wheel off this morning to do the brakes and the cheap locking wheel bolt that came with this car decided to give up and one of the studs inside the socket has snapped.

At the moment i'm trying to JB weld the remover socket to the locking wheel bolt to see if it will come off once they are joined but it probably won't.

Whats the easiest way to rectify this problem?

Thanks

Take disc off to give yourself a bit more to play with and either cut a groove accross teh top, or if its stuck in, weld a bar accross the top

got it sorted by a local tyre place in the end for the price of: a can of red fanta :D

There are two of the bastards left on the back wheels so i expect i'll have to pay a fiver or something next time.

£50 seems well excessive iLL_MoVeS.
