when I had a similar problem I had to get a socket over the end and hammer it on. I can't remember the size, but it had to be a socket with 12 teeth round the edge, not just a 6 sided one.

that's what I have done in the past but you may struggle if you have the appropriate locking wheel nut key and you can't get them undone!!!

as above with the old socket or Snap on do a socket that the more you turn it the more it bites in to the locker

 

have fun

I have those, they are excellent, if I was closer I'd get it off for you

get a nice big t bar and over tighten the other 3 first, as much as you dare then try the locker, then try the socket as well

what you need is a big breaker bar, a hammer and someone to help.

put your locking key on, put breaker bar and socket on, then put some pressure on the breaker bar as to undo it, make sure you hold it square, then get someone to hit the breaker bar with a hammer, make sure its a decent sized one. normally works.

Glad you sorted it but if it happens again your local tyre fitter should be able to help
