If they are drilled theres a chance they will knacker the hubs aswell. Best to weld a nut on or bang a socket onto it. Alternativley an air chisel can do it, had that done on my old fiesta.

What i found usaually works with locking nuts is a small tool. It's called a Gator Grip its a universal socket that can fit to nearly any shape nut even some locking wheel nuts. its worth a try. you can get them in Argos page 69 for about a score (£20).

The Steel pins inside the gator grip automatically adjust to fit every type of nut, even if they are round with just the three wholes in the middle the pins will turn them.
