The way I did mine when I lost the nut was to get a socket that is a tiny bit smaller than the nut, hammer it on and twist it like you have never twisted before, It takes a while and is a bit of a mission but that is the only way I know, good luck :evil:

yup hammer on a close fitting socket... or pop to ur local ats/aa place and pay ?10 a nut

if it has 3 holes maybe 1 of those gaitor sockets would work as long as its not too tight!!!

i know i can get mine off with 1 of those!!

Get a piece of metal/stick, with a rope attached to it on one end, and three pins attached to the other. Insert pins into holes and keep twisting the metal/stick so it twists and tightens the rope. Keep twisting it till the nuts come out.

(could work, but i've just 'dreamed' this up).

For one's that have grooves and shit on the sides, ring up ScrewFix Direct and buy a 'gator' wrench. Will remove any combination.
