Any ideas about how to remove locking wheel nuts, the socket that undoes them has just disintergrated, i know i could weld a bar to the nut but i have 5 to get off. Can you get replacement ones i have not a clue who they are made by and there are no makers mark or Nos. They are genuine LR alloys.

I have got a removal tool at work, your welcome to borrow it, just need a lump hammer to use it. A new lock set is about £20 so just as cheap to replace the lot.

Not done it on a Landy, but took the wifes Mondeo alloy locking wheel nuts off by hammering a slightly undersize socket on .. brute force and violent aggression wins ..

It buggers the socket up for further use, but it took all four of our lasses off!
