    Depending on the type of locking nut, use a socket and a large hammer. Done it many times at my work to remove them

    If it's the original VX one (which i'm assuming it is) then your gonna struggle to remove it with the above methods. The only way that'll work is if you break the spinning collar off first.

    Is it an emergency and do you have the orignal key number as you can get replacements from VX

    Thanks guys, its the original bolt, looks kinda like a star?
    tried to drill a pilot hole to use my easy out drill bits but they wouldnt even make a scratch on it

    Not an emergency just want it off and a new one on incase it turns out to be an emergency and cant get the spare on.

    dont want to keep trying my locking nut on it incase i round it off aswell and then i wont be able to get any of the wheels off lol

    but i do have the key number in my manual, but its not the locking nut thats rounded, its the actual head on the bolt in the wheel

    Thanks again.

    Cheers Did you use them on the original vx lock bolt? some people say only work with normal bolts and your standard locking bolts?
