the first thing i would do mate is my trusty trick i picked up yyears ago working in a wrecking yard and that my friend is by memory an 18mm or might have still been a 19mm DOUBLE HEX socket belt it on with a hammer till it is sollid then n one firm and square motion begin to undo your lock nut may take a second possibly third attempt but it will work well i wont put no guarentee on that thats for sure hope this helps mate....

Weld a decent sized nut to the lock nut and use that to undo it with.

The socket idea is basically the only way without damaging other parts.

go try that mate and come back i can near feel that it will work if you hit it on firm enough make sure you get a good bite the second you feel it starting to slip stop remove ratchet belt on even hardert again then go again it should work mate, ill go for a quik puff on a ciggy and get back to see the progress hope i can help mate if it does not work reply and tell me if you have a blind hole which the lock nuts are sitting down in or if the head is exposed thanks mate....
