Depends if it has sleeve round the nut which turns independently to the nut its self ?

 

if not...... hammer a slightly smaller socket on to the locking nut

Just what i was thinking when I bought a set of these, but to get the locking wheel nut out of the tool I did need a vice to hold the wheel nut while the tool was unscrewed back off the nut. A vice would be a trifle heavy for a car thief to carry about with him.

It is the time factor too.

Hi I had this problem a few weeks ago. I took it to Charlie Brown, Abbeydale, and a mechanic managed to force it off. There is a tool called Dynomec, that moulds itself to the nut that some mechanics have, including the AA though. The manufacturer is based somewhere up in Castleford and will unlock your nuts for a reasonable price apparently.
