I managed to shear the inside of my locking wheel nut off inside the nut, now does anyone have a solution to this, if i could be bothered or if it was worth it i could pick the pieces out of the nut.

Will Subaru have a nut to get me out of trouble, obviously will be getting a new set of lockers so it does not matter if they are unusable after removal.

Any other sudgestions

rounded a locking wheel nut off on the wifes scenic.

had to arc weld a net onto the stump and then undo it. took two or three attempts but it came out in the end. her alloys have a centre cap so the very slight scorching cannot be seen.

has the head come completely off? can you remove the wheel and use a stud extractor on the stump?

the nut itself is it tact, its the actual bit that goes over it, the socket thats fooked

Get these

These can work well if you got enough clearance around the locking nut

get an impact socket smaller than the nut and whack it on with a lump hammer works every time

i had the same thing happen to me, the only way i could shift them was smack a smaller socket over the nuts
