A universal locking nut removal socket (as loved by wheel thieves) is your best option, see Amazon, eBay, Machine Mart, etc., they're widely (too widely!) available.
The LR sockets are notoriously cheese like and overtightening will kill them. I always reinforce any that I use.  Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Last edited by blackwolf on 28th Dec 2021 4:59pm. Edited 1 time in total |

Weld a very thick washer to nut - through the hole in the washer - and then weld a large nut to the washer 2017 Range Rover L405 Vogue SE V8 Diesel #16

Balls...
When this happened to me (albeit not as severe) I used a 12 point socket and a sacrificed HSS drill bit as a key to get the locking nut off. The socket and drill bit have to be a snug fit, tapped on with a hammer. Then gently turn the socket. As it may be stuck, best go the whole hog and douse with WD40 and give the nut a few good taps with a hammer to loosen up any corrosion. Good luck. |

Thanks all. Ended up taking the easy option of driving to local helpful garage who had the right tools to remove the nut.
