Locking wheel nut removal
As it says on the tin 😉
I have original wheels and the original locking nuts, the front passenger locking wheel nut top is just spinning the socket still fits nice and snug but the whole assembly just spins and doesn't grip the inner bolt.
Any got some ideas or no of a mobile service in the Midlands (Derby area) who can get it off with wrecking the alloy!
Any help much appreciated.

My last 2007 had the same problem, when I sold it I asked the garage to swap the stormers from my 2007 onto my new to me Autobiography.
On the day of hand over my new car was on the ramp with all wheels removed and ready for my stormers.
1 hour later and they were still not swapped over, the back two locking wheel nuts would not move.
They had a bottle jack up against a wall pushing the locking wheel nut and socket with power bar onto the wheel and it still would not move.
½ later he decided to give me a full new set of Stormers and tyres.
Most tyre places will be able to remove the locking wheel nut for you as they should have the tool for the job, it will destroy the locking wheel nut though.Lot of Landcruisers now sold
