Your guess is as good as mine, but I think that was his plan till his mate turned up :-X, but by that time the damage was already done :o

I did tell the bloke he should go and get his geometry done, as at one point the bloke took a big Sammy Sledge hammer to it and was giving some pounding :-X

Once the bolt's been drilled a few times the tension starts to decrease, a combination of overtightening the other four helped as well.

What the bloks done was, bolstered the centre section of the wheel locking nut several times to remove the threads on the inside of the locking nut, once that was done removed the locking nut.
