I have never had a set of lockers that I cannot remove with a smaller impact socket and a fuck off hammer....
Even bought a car for the misses a few months ago and the guy at the garage gave me Ł100 back as he couldn't remove the lockers..... 30 minutes at home and she was all sorted
I would also like to add that I've never damaged a wheel either....

We do this alot at work, atleast twice a week and tbh a hammer and chisel is usually best, air chisel is another good tool.
that tool is one used by the aa as we have it at work 9 times out of ten it does the job, it works like a impact driver, you bash the end and two curved spikes come out the bottom and embed into the nut then you can just spin it off.
hammer & socket is good aswell as mentioned, try hitting the nut face on with a punch to try and loosen rust on the threads, something else we've done is weld a big nut over the locker then undo that, depends on the types of wheels though.
Something else i've heard people do is remove other nuts then take the car for a short drive waiting for the nut to loosen, the trick is to stop before the wheel falls off so don't try it up the local dueller.

thanks for the info chaps on the socket idea i have tried this and also spiral sockets designed to take off lockers with no joy doesnt seem to be any room what mm socket did you use?
see i have 1 oz super t on wich ive drilled aswell and 2 rl7,s that were brand fire new refurbed befor i bought them was just worried about damageing em ive spoke to brom about em as the cars going over to him after its sorted the options were weld a nut wich will blister the paint on the rl,s or chop the hubs off and tackle em that way ford have discontinued hubs now
thier is no engine its a rolling shell and wont roll because it has different width alloys either side so cant even push it on to a trailer had to get it bought to new garage on a t bar truck its a right ball ache i tell ya 
feel free to pop round and have a go
i got a call from dynomec this morning very helpful indeed looks like i,ll just go for the stress free option and become an operator

any idea what mm gator grips are dave mate?
i just dont think that actual socket itself will go past the rim in between the nut and the wheel its propper tight i tell thee think thats how theyve been designed tbh as the spiral sockets designed to do em cant get a purchase either just slide off, worth a look

those are the easiest of all to get off, if you get any 4 ovalled socket-like the type to remove them bolts, grind 3 of the oval keys off and dress up edges of last one, you have a wheel nut key that fits any of those type. i've got 1 pre ground down somewhere in my old toolbox.

as he said above!
be off in no time, also i don't reckon that tool will work on that style of nut.
Ultimatly drill straight through the fucker, providing you do so on centre it'll be fine when through enough for the head to snap off take the wheel out and hopefully they'll be enough thread sticking out the back of the hub to turn withyour fingers.

did you get this sorted Scott?
definitely looks the same as mine. I didn't take the number down like a muppet but if it looks right you're welcome to give it a go?
