locking wheel nut broke- help please

[Skinny]

So the cylinerlicral part of the locking wheel nut had a crack in it and just fell of when i was changing the wheels today. When i put the locking nut onto it it just slips off the side under pressure, ive tried a few things but cant stop it from slipping. Any advice on how to get it off?

This pic kinda shows what broke off. Bottom one is locking wheel nut. Oh also if anybody is selling any i need some new ones as they were all fucked.

ah and cheers

They are the easy type you can bash a socket on so its a tight fit and undo. Tighten the other 3 first - takes a bit of pressure off it, and using a punch hit the locking nut square as hard as possible 2 or 3 times, shocks it to help it undo.

ah okay cheers, any idea what size socket would be best to smash on?

if bashing the f**k out of it a few times dusnt work. try drilling in to the middle of the bolt with a 10mm drill bit till the point of witch the wheel will come off and weld a 19mm nut to the stub. this will give u a new point to unscrew the rest of the bolt. car will be alright to run off 3 wheel nuts for a time

Find one that fits loose, then go down the sizes till you find one that is a snug fit. 6 sided sockets are better.
