Wheel lock removal technique/recommendation?

Hello everyone, I'm in need of some help on the G. The previous owner lost the key to the wheel locks, and the brakes needs to be replaced soon. I've seen several videos on removing them, but don't like the idea of hammering away a socket onto the wheel locks. Does anybody have suggestions for me to try, or a reputable wheel lock removal specialist to call?

Right on! That's even better, I'll definitely get the sockets and meet up with you. But I'll be back in town next Weds, so hopefully we can meet up by then.
