Apart from the Key, nowt fits over the cap, once the cap is off or out of the way a rounded bolt remover will get it off without doubt.

Andrew, how the did you do that, it must have been a big whack. By the looks of the pic it looks like the key collapsed over the remaining of the nut, but mine is virtually rounded and its the sole transport at the moment, so canny risk it off the road so to speak

I have a few spare keys you can abuse
I have a "D" & "L" key
Couldnt you drill the centre of the locking nut and weld the key to the nut? Without seeing it then its hard to explain what to do
Cant a tyre company remove it for you?

Cheers Matt, got 3, destroyed one already
You're right Ken, it was the O/S/R one you warned me about, and when i did pads all round it came off ok'ish, toyed with the idea of putting it on there again, but as the EPB was warming up (adjusted now), I decided to put it on the N/S/F but not too tight. Did one small journey it the D3 before the NEW lockers arrived (Not LR Ones), and they all came off except that one. I know it aint on tight, and has copperslip on the threads, so should come off with ease once a bite can be made on the poxy thing

Tried ATS, and RAC, and even BigDave is in the trade and none can do it. Once the cap is off it can give me access for a rounded Nut remover, but with the cap on you cant, and with the other lockers on a bench the cap wont budge off them
