Well there is an easier way for all. Not sure where or how ya get them, but I have a set of NRMA supplied (i'm a mechanical tradie) lock nut removers. They are basically like a tube with threads that lock on to the nut, kinda the way an easy out does. If ya get the gist of it, very easy to remove the nuts and no damage to anything.
