The shop that I use to deal with( see Vendors Feedback ) https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif ...LOST....my wheel lock.

I have new wheels & rims to be installed(now in garage till spring)

And I do need to get these off....

Does anyone have any suggestions,please ???

I have a deal from snap on that will spin off locking lugs, it's quick and dirty, dunno if a local parts store would have something similar or not,, any tires shop should though.

Can I buy it?

i had the same problem... no tire shops nor the shop that i worked at had anything to get it off... i just got a socked that would fit over it and not grip... then got the next size socket down from that, that was just shy of fitting on there... got a big hammer and beat it on and finally twisted it off

No, but you can get it right here: http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P6...ore&dir=catalog



Any tire shop that doesn't have one, I wouldn't use LOL When i worked at the dealer we looked in the glove box and the trunk for the lock and if it wasnt there we spun them off and replaced them at their cost. Takes about 30 seconds with that set in the link.

or just get a dremel, make a couple flat spots on the lug, get some vice grips, and walla.. cheap way to get em' off.

Thanks for the ideas, I got an 18mm impact socket & sledged it onto the lug...a little pressure & lo & behold...OFF...great now to get on to the new business...Thanks all https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Good to know my wheel locks are atleast making car thieves spend money on some tools and not just make pure profit off stolen cars
