    Locking wheel nuts stuck! Help!?

    Ok, i dont know where the locking socket is so my wheels are stuck on.

    I tried smashing a 18 on it but it just broke to pieces and a 19 spins on it so its too big...

    How do i get my wheel off?! :(

    it's easy enough to drill the nut out, just take it nice and slow

    I used a bluepoint bolt extractor, hammer it on and as you undo the tighter it grips, a cracking investment but costly initial outlay
