AndrewS / Ken / DG's sarcasim / and All who helped
Many Many Many thanks to the FORUM YODA'S, for all the info given helped me successfully achieve the end result of a successful removal. Without your help collectively I would never of known how to do it.
So with some girly'ish pre whacks, nowt moved. Time for a MAHOOOOSIVE hammer. Two whacks, would have been one but needed to square it up, but the end result is in the pic
Now I must stress to all forum members, DITCH the lock nuts
Cheers guys

Got to be honest, it was 80% lazyness, and 20% worried about doing it, took it to a dealer and today and the quote was 2-3hrs labour and a set of LR lockers, and a wheel. They would'nt let me use the one I got off CFB as they could'nt verify its use
So it could have been a huge bill.
A BIG lesson learnt, next time when KEN puts on NEW boots, and says ditch the lockers as one is fooked, LISTEN to him
