    If a wheel brace (27mm socket ) still fits over the nut then it cant possibly spin ? the socket is a really tight fit over the covers.

    I suppose thread damage could be the cause and the nut is also spinng but not loosening or tightening with a steel wheel I would just break the stud

    I trust he has these wheel nuts:


    In that case it is only breaking the cover (not difficult, it is basically tinfoil only) and loosen the nut with a suitable wrench and socket (size 27)
    Cheers
