Help! One of my locking wheel nuts is damaged (it's the Subaru 3 hole type). Searching the forum, hammering a socket onto the nut seems to be the fix. Are there any other moethods of removal?

Cheers

Lee

Everyone, please do NOT post remedies on this board - for obvious reasons - mail them to Lee direct.

MarkF or Saj, can you please delete the above post.

Thanks for the advice. I've looked for one of the devices mentioned at both Halfords and B&Q but can't find one. Any recommendations?

Cheers

Lee.
