Not if its an L322 you have? The lockers are made to spin in the middle if you attempt to remove them without the correct key! ie that tool!

The key is fine it’s the bolt on the wheel that’s broken |

You could try going at it with a hammer and cold chisel to see if you can get it to turn....

This outfit removed one for me without any difficulty. Cost me £20 as I called in to their premises.

And this is why I removed and replaced my locking wheel nuts with standard wheel bolts.

This is why locking wheel nuts should be fitted with greased threads and never over-tightened. If there is the slightest doubt about there condition they should either be replaced by new or replaced by plain nuts. Assuming you can get them off at all.
