Locking wheel nut - the final straw - cuting the wheel off

[deathrowrecords]

Currenly on my car I have and an alloy wheel locking nut that has been air gunned up to tight or has been cross threaded. I have tried all the usual methods to get this removed and have been through 3 locking wheel nut keys. We have tried drilling it, using expensive removal kits to no joy, the thing is just stuck solid.

The final straw is now to remove the other 4 bolts and take an angle grinder to the wheel and leave me with just the bolt stuck out and then hopefully I can remove it while having more access to it.

Anyone think this is a good or bad idea?????????

I really am at a loss of what else to try next

I have a replacment wheel and tyre ready to go on no problem

All the below methods have been tried already


Hammering socket over

Drilling done by friends at a machine shop

£200 removal kit

Welding MIG and ARC, recess far too small to penetrate

reverse threaded socket kits

Air chisel

there is prob more but i forget

I am now left with a very smashed up and damaged nut
