Default Wanted to borrow - Lock nut key

Need to take front wheels off the STI to do brakes but they have 1 lock nut on each. I just took a pic (below) but it turned out rather shit. It is a 6 slot nut, looks to be evenly spaced between each slot. Failing that, any easy ways to get them off? Don't care if it destroys the nut as they won't be going back on.

Go to super crap and get some cheap sockets and hit them over the top.

Had a bit of a go at that already today but no joy. Might have to get some cheaper sockets as you say and "make" them fit, if I can't find one elsewhere...

Find a socket that nearly fits over and smash it on with a hammer

Edit: beaten by Neil, fitters think alike lol

Don't buy the cheapest ones, I did that and the socket split
