Mine mysteriously went missing as well. I went to princess and bought 4 12 spline 19mm deep sockets, pounded the fvck out of them with a bfh to get them on the lock nuts, and used a breaker bar to get them loose. A few bucks and a few minutes later and they were nuked.

Haha, that looks a little drastic keith.
Well the special impact socket from princess auto worked. Only took me a combined time of 3 hours to remove all 4
The key is to use a center punch to punch out the corner that is slanted into the socket. Took me 40 minutes to remove one nut with brute force, 1 minute for the other ones using a proper method. It scratched the wheels a tad, but I stopped caring after hour 1

Using a socket and a big fvcking hammer takes 10 minutes a corner. I would have **** the bed if it took 3 hours

Well if you do it properly, it is use the impact socket and take off with breaker bar, use center punch, hitting out corner of lock, repeat. In reality takes abour 5mins a corner, I was just being dumb. I dont have alot of tools at my house so was attempting to remove the lock with a little hammer and a ratchet extension. You need a vise and a good hammer to actually remove it.
