wheel locks

[wickedblkgt]

Like a dumb ass, I misplaced my wheel lock key. Does anyone know how to get them off or where to go to have them removed?

A lot of wheel and tire shops have kits to remove locks.

Or, depending on the type of lock, you may be able to find a socket to fit over, hammer it on and break it loose like that.

Would be easier if you post a pick of wheel lock style

is it a open ended lug nut? If not i just weld a nut on the end so i can grab it.

[wickedblkgt]

Its not the open-ended kind.

grab a 12 point socket that just barely fits over the wheel lock, then a couple of hits with a hammer to seat it. grab a breaker bar and break it loose. this works great in a pinch, but the wheel lock and socket will be junk. it will motivate you to not misplace your wheel lock key in the future.

Post a pic of the lock and wheel.

I've use this successfully.. I also bought removal sockets from Harbor Freight after that..

This! I have the gorilla lugs on my F150. Pepboys sells them.

instead of taking the chance of fucking up my rims and sockets I just called the company and bought another key fir $14.

I use craftsman 12 points to get em off, then take em and swap them out...they ain't caught on yet.
