Try a universal socket.


If that doesn't work, take a 12 point socket of a size slightly too large to go over the nuts, and hit it with a hammer. Be sure to buy new lug nuts to replace them with, before you do this, so you don't get one wheel off and then think "Ok, how do I get to the store to buy replacements now?".

Try to take it to your local tire shop. My friend had the same problem, but they managed to find a lock. Might run you about $20 or so.

with that insert one, I've used a 3/8th to get it off.

With the regular locks, the tire shops just get a slightly larger 12 point socket and hammer it on.

Or you can buy another set of those lock nuts, those are really common and they sell those at schucks or autozone.

Discount tire sold me one for $7. They had a bucket of different kinds.

Makes me feel so safe having wheel locks.
