Keep drilling mate. Looks like you've tried your best with a socket.

Your problem is that you've gone straight in with a big drill bit?

Drill something like an 8mm pilot and then get the bigger drill in there.

Either have stock of drill bits or get yourself a bench grinder and learn how to sharpen them :)

ask at your local garage. Same happened to my mate recently, paid 40 quid to get them all removed - they had some giant easy out that took the bolts out quite quickly.

ok cheers kris, will give it a go tomorrow,

i would try beating another socket on it until you get a good enough bite then heat up with blow torch to free it of see if that works if not drill slowly making sure you can get it out the hub

Drill it with the smallest drill bit you can find then go bigger and bigger. or if you don't mind damaging the wheel a long spike/chisels and hit it around. i found an air chisel is the best thing for getting them off. Ive done loads of them

Small drills and go up from there
