Removing a locking wheel nut. Part of sorting out the kit car.

Ok, so this wont probably work for every type of wheel nut, but it did for mine.

Googled last night and working today.  I hammered a similar size to a 14mm onto the top of one just like this:
Handbrake on, the best chance you have is when it hasn't yet moved.  A sharp first move followed by half a rotation and suddenly it was free!

This is the last of the two on the rear of my Firecat kit car, which I am going to use on track days.  It needs a bunch of mods before it goes on track, most of them cheap and already purchased.

I have removed the awesome stereo including speakers = 10Kg and the soft top (sold on- no turning back) including the frame 6Kg.

A video of the car is on youtube here :
