removing wheel locks
ok ive seached and searched and here are the ways ive found to remove wheel locks without the key
many say smashing a 12point deep well socket on
anyone know what size?
a few said wheel and tire shops will doit but everyplace i called said they wont guarantee if they f' up my wheel
one guy said dremelling a slot down the center and using a big flat head screw driver???
anyone else have a suggestion?
its a 5 sided clover pattern and i cant find anyone/place that has this key
any chance this an acura delaer would have the key?

Ive used the "hammer a socket onto the lock" method a few times. Works, but you ruin the socket usually. they were the stock locks from Acura.
the dremel idea might work if you can get something to give you enough torque to remove the lock. maybe dremel out a 1/2" square, and attach an impact gun to it that way and see if it will come off.

Re: removing wheel locks (kaneda3)
if the wheel lock is from the dealer, they will have the key. Theres about 20 different sets and they just try them all. g'luck
