United Kingdom 2006 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Zermatt Silver
Broken locking wheel nut

Hi all

I had to put my spare wheel on the other day, all went well, I took the vehicle down yesterday to have the tyre changed, and when the garage were trying to get the locking nut off it broke. The top part of the nut is just spinning freely and won't undo

Any ideas how to get the nut out?
