I have overcome this problem by tapping a socket on over the lock nut, it will twist off easy then with a rachet and long exstension bar.

I've seen some of the Peugeot lock nuts, they have like a disk in the center which can break off, leaving them impossible to get off with a brace/socket.An electric or air impact wrench will get them off, as you can hold it on.

Failing that weld on a nut and use a socket. Replace the lugs with non locking ones from the dealer/scrap yard..
