Locking wheel nut woes

Post by Dougelove »

So all my lockers are trilock :. however some bright spark left a spline key in the jack kit!! Yeah great that'll work well won't it!!! As you can guess I'm steaming. So anybody want to enlighten me to the easiest way to get these spinners off, bearing in mind that the previous owner used Arnold schwartenigger to tighten the bolts, not a wise move!! Can I arc weld a hex bolt to them?

Anybody want to sell me another set of lockers (or normals) cheap? Do I really need them? Do people still steal standard alloys and leave your car on bricks or do they take the bricks too?
Love a lot, trust a few, but always paddle your own canoe.
Never look in your rear view mirror.
