HELP: REMOVE LOCKING LUG NUTS WITHOUT KEY

well if they aren't stolen wheels..you should be able to go back to the place where you purchased them from and get a new key

jamb a socket over it , or use a large bolt extactor, the kind you use to remove rounded off bolts and nuts.

is there a discount tires in bc, canada? how much are keys?

no, go to Kal tire and get them to take the locks off for you then.

i bought rimz from kal tire a couple of years ago. key broke a month later and they couldnt get a repacement key.
so they air chiseled a notch in them so they could loosen them by spinning them with the air hammer.
but the guy slipped on one and wrecked the center cap. they replaced it at their expence only because it was their problem to get them off!

WELL ARE YOU REMEMBERING NOW?

12 point socket and a hammer
make sure the socket is just a size under and jam that socket in
you might loose that socket because its hard to remove off the lug nut

drill and eazy out

I just tack welded a nut on the lug. It was fast and easy!

where in BC are you? the Canadian Tire on King George and 104th in Surrey took mine off for free, they just pounded a socket over em

Most tires shops have the sockets that they hammer on the locks and can pull them off. I called around in my area, most do it for free if you are buying a tire from them.

The socket is a slight cone shape on the inside and when hammered it wedges it self in there and can be removed, basically the same concept as using a socket just a hair to small and pounding it on.

Just has to do it on my dads truck

Good luck

take that shit to tom the tire guy he'll take care of u
