Broke locking nut key!

[matt.lund]

the locking nut of my original renault lock nuts has broke! has anyone ever removed any without it? i have been told to just hammer a socket over the top and remove as normal, but the shoulder spins! will this method still work?

please help lol

if you get a socket that matches the shoulder and then break it off by hitting it till it break, you can get a left hand threaded bolt remover screw that on and it will come out eventually

will the socket not wedge over the top and stop the whole lot turning? i am gonna give it a whack soon and if not will get garage or someone to do it
