I see the main problem in this is the rotating shield around the nut, if that wasn't there then all the tried and tested methods would work.
So tomorrow I am going to attempt to get the shield off, drilling or chiselling will be my approach, if drilling I must remember to oil the area to keep the bit cool. |

Im going to try and weld a nut onto the offending lock nut so my question now is, apart from the battery is there anything else I should remove or isolate before welding??

But yeah I broke 2 cobalt bits yesterday, didn't even mark the bolt after 10 minutes of drilling in the same spot. |

there is no chance of drilling them out.do as i did and get a bolt welded on to the end of the locking nut.when you get them out put ordinary bolt back in.locking nuts aint worth the trouble. peter. |

The first thing i do when i get an new car is take the locking nuts off and bin em, they're nothing but hassle. When was the last time you heared of anyone getting there wheels stolen?

I'm worried about doing that because of causing wheel damage from the heat of the welding, did it not cause any problem for you?
