Can't remove wheel nut
Discussion
Halfords or Machine Mart do a Locking Wheel Nut Remover socket, which has a reverse thread inside to cut into the bolt. Only costs around £15.I think it makes the bolt unusable, but I don't suppose you're worried about that. I've always had these in mind, in case I lose my wheel nut 'key'.
I had an issue with one once after some Muppet cross threaded it with a windy gun then rounded it trying to get it off.. Eventually took a hole saw to it and literally drilled the nut off around the stud. Maybe grind the stud off the back of the hub. Last resort stuff though, you should be able to get a socket for it
Speaking of muppets with windy guns, see my post to the parallel thread to this:
