3 suggestions ive had so far;
1. use a drive and hit the nut. this will loosen it and then you should be able to get it off with whats left of the adapter.
2. get a 1/2' drive socket thats to small and belt it on. ruining the socket but should get the lock nut off.
3.weld a bolt to the lock nut and this is possibly the easiest way to get it off. if you have access to a welder

If you have an identifying number on the lock nut adapter you should be able to get another replacement one unless it is broken and still stuck on the nut.
