I don't but I do know a way to take them off, I also think if i had an impact wrench I could take it off because the tire iron just keeps slipping off.

Will these be a better replacement? I crack another wheel lock last night.... fml

well clearly cant post any of those website.... Anyone know where I can get all new lugnuts?

Either that or just buy 4 lug nuts and replace the locks... there only oem wheels!

Where are you located? Which wheels are you taking off? Do you need a thin wall socket?

Basically I use a bolt removal tool to take stripped lug nuts off.

Hammer the smallest size you can get onto the bolt and then use a breaker bar to twist the nut off.

Good luck!

Take it to your local mechanic they should put it on for like $10 or no charge if your close with them

bolt remover tool should work, other people use a regular lug opener and just hammer it in to shape the lug (this is how some people steal wheels)

If you want to remove it for cheap and using regular tools just find a socket that barely fits over the wheel lock and hammer it on with a rubber mallet. Then take a breaker bar and slowly crack the bolt loose. Hope this helps. You won't be able to use the socket after this though.

If you dont feel comfortable about doing this. I just took my car to discount tire. They were able to take my locks off with ease.
