anti theft lug key lost

[Corey]

whats the easiest way to get off an anti theft lug off without the key? i was thinking about welding a nut on but there has got to be an easier way.
thanks guys

The way I did it before, was put a larger socket over it and impact wrench it out, just dont put it too jammed in or it'll get stuck if you go this route.

i hammered the smaller socket on my tire iron on to the lock, and just wrenched it off. then i whacked the lug against my driveway when i was done, and it came out.

^^ agreed. thats probly the easiest do it yourself route

if that doesn't work buy a new one.

take it to a just tires or cj tires, most of them have an assortment of locks and keys....

yea the only way ive ever done it was to take a smaller size socket and hammer it on hard with a hammer, then just socket it off. sometimes u might ruin the wheel lock, but seems like u need a new set anyways since u dont have the key.

thanks guys...... im going to try a few things tomorrow, if not then im taking to someone.

they make tools to brake them off. take it to a garage or mechanic, they will take care of em. i would expect any wheel/tire specialist to have em.

Get a sharp chissel and one good hard smack will split the lug right in half just dont damage your wheels. They also sell a universal tool to take them off

They make a keymover lug, it should be at ur local auto parts store. Its reversed threaded so when you tighten it it takes it off. ruins the out side of the lug but its off easily.

Theres a tool thats cuts it in half. Pneumatically.

I've got 2 kits to remove them, no damage to the wheels
