ATS used a similar set to remove mine, their's had a finer 'thread'/helix though .... probably best used with a windy gun.  :y

bugger all to knock on to, also will need a 22/3mm socket then you run out of space between the nut & the hole in the wheel.

Quotevery true, i think i will have to buy some decent drills then give it a go with the torx bit as serek suggests. :y

Buy a cheap Halfrauds set that you don't mind shearing off then, you don't want your best set of 'Draper's' getting damaged ;) ;D ;D
I got set of HILTI  drills use only 4 drills for this job :)

If you were closer I could lend you my universal socket.  It will do anything upto 32mm in diameter as long as it is not completely round.  Prob one of my most useful tools  :y

Just keep drilling larger holes till the head comes off, take the wheel off and either weld a nut to the end or get the mole grips on what's left of the stud.
