removing locking lugnut with no key
 

Yup, I lost the key. Any tips for removal from those of you who wouldnt admit you've done the same lol.

Thanks in advance !!!!!!

Mine only worked about half the time so I drilled them out.

I've bought auction cars that came with no key. A 19mm or 3/4 circle cutter will shave off the nut without damaging the lug, if done carefully.

snap on makes a tool that will remove them

i refuse to use locking lugs - i don't worry as much about people stealing my wheels as i do the problems with correct torque, and the lock screwing up, or the key getting lost - besides, that's what insurance is for

A chisel on the face of the key hole works well :). The old style locking lugs are basically garbage.

thanks
 

Is everybody playing hookey from work today lol. Thanks guys.

if I wake up and my wheels are gone tomorrow, I'll know who to come after ;)

I used to be a locksmith, and they are VERY easy to pick!
Actually you can pick them with 2 bobby pins (found in most womens purses)

Hope it helps!

When I bought my car, the PO didn't have the wheel lock key.
I also used a locksmith. It took 10 min. to pick the lock and make a new key. And only cost $25.00.
Had them make a few keys, just in case I loose one.
