Get a large allen key the same size as the lock nut remover and see how ya go. or do what hans suggested... nut + weld + beer = remove the f**k easy as s**t.

either that or bash a socket over the top and hope it grips (still works on some round ones), at work ive got sockets to egt them off which have a tapered reverse thread in them and they get them off a treat. got different sizes too. that particular model lock nut would have to be the worse for stripping them. get some speedy brand ones, they work well.

C*** of things they are! if you have a good cold chisel you can try to spin it off,but if its too sharp youll cut it away and thats worse----weld it,if it breaks off,do it again.

is the locknut sticking out past the rim or is it flush, u can sometimes use some vice grips to loosen them if it sticks out a bit. otherwise socket is the go they only need to be on a couple of millimetres to grab
