Go to a garage and ask them to remove them for you? Some have impact sockets with a reverse thread, that's all i did, they were even nice enough to do it for free!

Can you not now pull that wheel off? It's hard to see what's left in the hole.
Tension should be gone off the bolt if so.

Those locking nuts with prongs are shit! Lucky I got two keys with mine on the 1.8, snapped one key completely, then took the other to the garage, where they just hammered it on anyway.....it got stuck in the last nut (lucky it was the last one!) so just binned the lockers lol.
Need bolt extractor to remove that.....your local garage will more than likely have one, shame its a weekend!!

U need to tape it up around the alloy. Then get a chisel to make a dent, so that u than can get a flat head screw driver on it and hit it anti clockwise so it starts to unscrew you just gotta be gentle.

You need a nut/stud extractor set.
Did it loosen atall?
If it loosened a little do the other 3 wheel nuts up proper tight and thatll help take some of the tension off the snapped one to make it easier to undo.
The pug nuts are proper shite TBH, thats another one of my excuses for the stud conversion.
