Cant do that mate, as said in the original post these nuts are internal drive, you put an adapter inside the nut to turn them rather than put a socket over them!

In my defense they were on the car already, i'll most likely replace them with non locking variants like the other nuts.

Again, doubt this would work as mine are internal drive, you'd need a massivley long drillbit to reach the metal through the hole!!!
I'll run it round to RTec in the morning and see if they can source replacment nuts before I attempt getting these off - its looking like i'll get something welded to what material I have left and get them out that way. Thanks for the replies though everyone!!!!
