Help snapped locking wheel nut key

[gray6634]

Ok last night the thing i hoped would never happen happened. my locking wheel nut key snapped and i dont have a spare. Rang renault today and quoted the code on the side of it and they responded by saying its discontinued, GREAT!!! So at this point i am fucked really no idea of how i am gonna get the nut off. i have tried to hammer a socket on with no luck and tried to tap the nut round without any luck. any ideas the wheels are standard rsi speedines 14 inch, thanks for any help

Drill out the centre, then using a thread extractor remove nut (may have to use some heat for extra help) IMO

i had this exact same problem the garage used my locking wheel nut with an air gun and knackered it. i used a socket hammer and a ratchet and after a while they came off. cant remember what size the socket was but its got to be this style

yeah i've heard that you can hammer a socket over it to get it off

i weled the top of a nut to one of mine,,and then used a socket and unscrewed it

My McGrards are getting rather worn, I will probably replace soon before more extreme measures are needed.
