If you really can't get them off u will have to make a cut in the bolt so you have some leverage on it to unscrew it.

That's probably the code to get yourself another.
The make might help you though.

gator grip
whack an old socket over it
cutting a groove in it to unscrew isnt a great one id think. Not much leverage

yeh as mentioned twat a socket over and try undo
or we made a tool to get a set off mine when i bought it
failing that - try some garages as they might have tools to take them off - sure my mate has a set of getting any wheels off

hi when i had my car sprayed they lost my locking wheel nut after putting my wheels back on. when i came to having new tyres the garage got them off using that drill thing they use to tighten em up and after a few minutes they worked it loose?

LASER make a socket that is reverse threaded inside, you put that onto the nut then unscrew it with a breaker bar and it will take the nut off
theyre about a tenner from halfords

all sorted now. it turned out all i needed was a bigger thing to go over the nut.
