If it is steel, just weld a suitable nut on to it.

if its a decent locking nut, each key/socket should be slightly different anyway, so its unlikely that anyone will have a suitable key.

yeah i have a few options, there is some thread left in the nut so im thinking of welding a bolt on and tryiong that .

Other option is the old socket trick hammered on , im not keeping the nut but its always easier if you have the right tool *tongue*

a squirt from a welder really helps as it loosens stuff up*smiley*
