a hammer and chisel works.... depending on your wheel design if u have access to to them u can either cut a slot in them or use the chisel to put a slot in it and tap it around counter clockwise to get it off.....sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. depending on how tight it was put on...... or the all out destroying them...is a pita without an air hammer.......

Locks weigh more than standard lugnuts therefore they will create a minor imbalance in wheels. This should be compensated for in radial force balancing - by using a temporary stick on weight [5-7-14 gram as appropriate] near the lug opening where the lock will always be located, during the Hunter radial force balance test.

A note for those who care about PRECISION.

I don't know if you have already checked this but the wheel lock key is located with the tire iron and jack, under the floor board of the trunk. It may have fallen under the jack.

Once you get the old set off, get yourself a set of Gorilla small diameter lug nuts:

No balancing issues and much more attractive. Also strong as hell.
