3/4" hole saw. easy. go slow and it will pop off and not damage the wheel.

there are probably several dozen pin arrangements, so i doubt you will have much luck finding a matching removal tool. tapping it off with a punch and hammer rarely works. gotta be pretty loose for that.

I've used this product to remove a locking wheel nut once. It destroyed the tool but did get it loose enough to remove. Might be worth a try if you don't feel like the hole saw route.

MANY times I have used a 1/2 drive impact socket with extension. Find std or metric that almost slides over then carefully hammer it on . Loosen with breaker bar or ratchet with cheater. I also wrap the socket with cloth to limit scratching. Good Luck .

Try a "stripped bolt socket"... they work well on rounded bolt heads. Hammer it on and give some arm with a breaker bar or impact wrench.

not to be an ssa but you have the lock you need the key

check sears they have lug removal kit that has removers that will get most off, or resort to a 3/4" galvanized nipple, a hammer and a pipe wrench
