unless you can get hold of one of those sockets that have like pins instead of sides, so that it can get any nut off because it takes the shape of any sixe nut. i havent used one but i bet it would work.

i had this problem, what sort of locking wheel nuts are they, if they're ford ones or similar then you'll need to get a socket on it as said, but if they have like studs in them i managed to get some of with a pair of thin-nose pliars.
