Overkill.
Hammer a socket over it. I think Snap-on do a socket that cuts into the metal and gets stronger grip on the locker is removed.

dependant on how tight it is hammer and socket just shaved it
and the locking wheel nut removal keys couldn't get a bite on it
was the only option T_T

that was the one i was using xD
the problem was that the cutting grooves actually ran into the socket for about a mm before they properly started and that was the distance i needed to havea bite

£20 sounds like a bargain for removing them, can be a bastardo of a job!
