Hi Woodcutter, might be an idea to remove one of the other locking nuts and have a good look at it to try and work out what is happening and the best way to attack it. MY16 AUTOBIOGRAPHY Indus silver with some toys

we had a similar thing on a works car cap of the nut was spinning as it had separated we managed to get it of with a bit of A-Team style thinking and got a can of the compressed air the type you use to clean computers ect , took the car round thrashed it and lot of heavy breaking to heat up the wheels then quickly held the compressed air upside down and emptied the whole can on the nut (upside down the cans vapours freeze) and then quickly got the brace on it and undone it the rapid cooling shrunk the metal enough for it to grip for us to get it off

Had to cut the cap and weld a nut to the inner, bit of a shenanigans but all went ok in the end.

Once removed then ditch all nuts both normal capped and locking.
