need a tool to remove 4 wheel locks, they are round on the outside, almost 1" O.D. there is no hex or anything to grab, just round junk wheel lock. :cry:

It is like that for a reason....so that thieves cannot steal them as easily.

....unless that is you

If you have enough place around the nut tack a wheel wrench to it and break them loose. Socket may not grab since the outisde is smooth. If its hollow with the hex drill the center of the stud out and break them off.

wheel locks are stupid/expensive/worthless. if someone wants to steal your wheels they will.

i lost my lugnut key. and i did this. took no longer than 5mins to get 4locks off. at best, the locks will only slow down the thief for a couple mins lol

worst comes, you rotate the wheel so the lug nut is in the up position (gives the most leverage) and go under the car and kick wheel outwards. I done that tons of times, but you will have to replace the stud as well cuz it will break. Unless you just want the wheels and don't care for the car, this is the easiest way to do it.
