Weld some bolts on the end of the locks or get a locking nut removal tool.

As above, or you can just hammer a socket onto them providing they aren't siezed.

I had this problem. Bought these

But they are rubbish!

So resorted to this

Was really easy. Material is only soft so drill them in no time! Then kick the wheel and it will fall off lol
