Wheel lock removal without the key
My stock key lock for my wheel locks has vanished!
Anybody have experience trying to remove the locks with out a key.
Just purchased new tires and can't have them installed.
I need some Maxima wisdom.

You could try vice grips, but i doubt that would work. The only other ways I could think of would be to e-mail the maker of the wheel lock, send a pic of the lock and ask if they have a key. Or the only other way would be to torch it off

That would suck to try to drill that out, because your would also need a wheel stud, which is about 2 or 3 times the amount of work because your have to completely remove the brakes. Not only that, lug nuts and studs are made from real hard metal. Good luck trying to drill that! Plus you also run the risk of ruining your wheel

You might be able to fit a socket over it thats too tight and try to hammer it on and try to twist it off....

What you need to do is buy a short 1/2 socket extension, take it to a welder and have him weld it to the locking nut. Then use a breaker bar to remove the lug nut. You will need one for each nut you need to remove. This may sound like a pain but it's allot better than breaking off the stud and having to replace that. Also recomend covering the surrounding area well with duct tape to prevent welding spatter from marking your rims.
