Sheered locking wheel nut...
Unfortunately, while in the process of fitting spacers to my Defender, I have managed to sheer a locking wheel nut which is now stuck on the car. Can anyone recommend a good locking wheel nut removal tool to get this off please?

I don't have any power tools, so I'd need something that would work with the wheel wrench provided.

Many thanks!

Some of these. Hammer them on hard so that they bite into the head and twist off the locking nut head (unless that has totally sheared off) then do the same onto the bolt underneath. Put on your longest breaker bar and if it doesn't start to shift tap at the socket end with a hammer to percussive shock it free. Thumbs Up

I'm not sure those will be large enough for a Defender wheel nut.

Best place for locking wheel nuts is in the scrap imo
