Don't try the special tools with the backward thread as they're not that good from what I've heard. I bought one once as couldn't find my locking nut when I first got my car but thankfully found it so returned the tool. I would advise getting in touch with your dealer and getting a new one. There should be a locking nut key code with your paperwork somewhere that you give to the dealer for a replacement m

I have taken them off before by using a normal socket and putting bit of cloth between and then hammering the socket on.
