lost wheel lock. anyway to get them off?
alright i belive that my wheels have two dif wheel locks on them. one is a wierd one which i have the lock for but the other three on each wheel look like locks but not sure. there extended out a little and round on the out side but inside where it looke like the lock would go is just like a regular hex shape like a regular lug nut.
so im not sure if there is like a tool i can buy from the store to just put on a rachet and get em off or is there some tricks to getting locks off iff u dont have a key od a place where i can buy new locks?
any help is appreciated. thanks guys
p.s. i bought the car like this i didnt realize the othere werent regular nuts. so ididnt even ask about them.

im goin to try but it looks like its a pretty standard lock if it is. its just like a 8 point hex inside. i was actually thinking if i could get a set of vise grips and get them ion there rea good them mayby get them off with a hammer or bar or sumthing. any one do this b4. i know there some peeps in here that could prolly take these things off faster than a nascar pit crew lol so if any one has some DIY info hi me up thanks.
i think i might have soleved mt own prob. lol i was looing online at tools cuz i knew i sa something at like the auto part store that might work and i was on autozone.com and looked at hand tools and saw a hex nut driver set that looks like it might work. so if u guys have any info on it if u think they might work lemme kniow.
im def goin to try it and ill get back to you guys and let you know ill find away to do it on my own and ill ill u guys in incase it ever happens to anyone els .but in the mean time if any one has done it by rigging something up please fill me in.

if its round on the outside just get a socket that is kinda tight.. a 12point socket.. and hammer it on.. go to sears and buy one.. usually like $5.. and just take it off that way... thats how i get them off
I've also done it with a 12point socket... good to buy from sears so you can return it if it gets messed up
also this was done with an air gun. not sure how much harder it would be w/o it.

go to a local shop, i went to monro muffler brake and they just took an air gun and put what looked like a large flathead bit on it and stuck it in the wheel lock and turned it that way...you'll just have to throw those lugs away and get some standard lugs until you get new wheels, or order some other locks...hope that helps
I forgot more about hondas then you will ever know....

drill the lugs? omg... that is retarded...
air chisel them off, takes all of 10 secs per lock. stop by any automotive place, they can help.
