whenever i get a car with no locking nut supplied or knackered lockers i get a strong socket and a large hammer socket has to be slightly smaller than locknut then i phisically smash socket onto lockers and undo with large knuckle bar i use an old socket extension bar in socket so as not to damage socket or bash wheel .i dont know if you have tried this method yet but thought i would suggest anyway .p.s.i have removed some really stubborn lockers in this way.
