what kind of locknut was it?
sometimes you can buy a key, some keys are common

if you can't get a hold of a key that works theres always bashing a slightly smaller sized socket over the nut and forcing it off

q_ball had heaps of experience on this *cough*

as vinny said, if its a common one, go to autobarn/supercheap/repco/wherever and try find the same pattern..
or a screwdriver + mallet/hammer might be able to turn it..

+1 for asking Qball hahaha.

If it's those common lock nuts provided by tyre shops, you might want to try some tyre shops. they might give you for free :) I got mine for free from Taleb tyres when changing my tyres with them.Else, like what DVS and Vinny advice
