HOW TO REMOVE WHEEL LOCKS WITHOUT A KEY TOOL

HOW TO REMOVE WHEEL LOCKS WITHOUT A KEY TOOL
Hey guys, if you buy a car with no wheel lock tool or you lost yours here is a video that will help you to remove the wheel lock without the tool and be able to remove your wheels. This procedure will work on most wheel locks. In order to remove the wheel lock you will need a good quality 12 point socket that is a little bit smaller than the wheel locks.
Please do not use that to steal somebody's wheels!
You probably do not want yours stolen either.

Hello, I just to offer a HUGE thank you. My son had a flat 2 hours from home, luckily got into a parking lot, and evidently after his recent oil change - tire rotation, the place forgot the key. We had to go to a Lowe's and buy the tools...but thanks to YOU knew how to take care of this. We literally just got home and the first thing our whole family wanted to do, is say THANK YOU.

I had a lock nut (circular lock) that was on my rear wheels, bought the car from a dealership at a good price but they didn’t know where the key was. Tried multiple kits for removing and couldn’t get it to work. I saw this video at dinner, dropped my spaghetti on the floor and ran to my car. Popped the trunk, grabbed my cheap Pittsburg 12 point socket set, and the 3lb hammer. Dumped it onto the lock nut and hit it with a breaker bar: and wouldn’t you believe it: it came off.
Both came off easily and I instantly went to buy replacement lug nuts and changed the brake pads while able to.

Thank you for this amazing trick!

A mechanic just quoted $150 to remove these and I knew that sounded outrageous. Thank you for this video!!

Thanks bro been trying to steal these rims for hours 🤗

[jasonlongton]

HUGE THANKS! I tore my car and house apart looking for that key so I could replace a ball joint. I used your method but added a bit of heat to move things along and that lug came right off! This deserves to be the top rated wheel lock removal video.

Dude, $6 for 19 mm fix! Thank you sooo much!!! Saved me tow truck fee!!!

[ginakerry]

This worked great! It cost me $45 in tools, but the repair shop wanted $80 to remove these on my newly purchased used car. So still saved $ and got tools to keep.
A couple of tips. I had to use a 13/16 socket. 19mm was too small and 22 too large.
Also, the worst part was getting the acorns out of the socket. I ended up tightening them hand tight on the wheel stud and gingerly tapping them, one direction and then another to hopefully prevent bending or damaging the stud. Worked great.
Wish I hadn't wasted half hour banging on that pesky screw!

I used this trick today. Sacrificed a 15/16" socket that I never use. Got me out of a jam. Thanks for posting, amigo!

Thank you very much, I needed two 21mm sockets $6.45 and it took no longer than 15 minutes. Super simple - great tip.

Thank you so much for posting this video. I bought a car a year ago and didn't realize that each tire had a lock on it. After waking up to a flat tire this morning, I found out the hard way that I had no key to remove it. This trick worked like a charm!

Dealership installed the locks with too much torque. I broke the key trying to get them off. The key stripped out and broke. Now I have to remove the security lugnut without a key. This helped out a ton and saved me $$ trying to replace the broken key. Thank you!

Ya all making fun with the guy, I m telling you, I had three wheel lock from hell and I just release them . Thank you for your video.

[realfakecomics]

I spent 2 hours going to different tire shops to see if they could take off the wheel locks on my back tires so I could get a flat replaced. After I saw your video I had them off in about 10 min. Thank you so much guys!

[jenniferdavila]

Thank you, couldn't change my tire for a week, went to auto parts store and couldn't find the right one then ordered one on Amazon and turned it to be the wrong one, watched your video and was able to get it off, thank you🎉🎉🎉🎉

[dpeabodyjr]

Thanks so much for sharing this trick! I lost the tool a few months ago. Toyota wanted me to leave the car (no way I’m turning that into a service visit). The place I bought my tires warned me they may damage the wheels if they try to remove the lock. I watched your video, dug around in my tool box and found a nice 3/4 in 12 point socket, and this worked perfectly!

[CameronLH]

Awesome!! Thanks so much! It works for a stripped one too. I thought I was in trouble, but y'all totally helped me out.

[maryblankenship]

Thanks Guys! My little brother bought a 2005 Pontiac GTO with low profile wheel locks and had a tire rot blow out (original tires)... He didn't think to ask the former owner for the wheel key when he bought it from California... Let's just say this trick worked like a charm! Much love from North Carolina, USA and you've gained another follower :)

[joeyjenks]

Thank you so very much, my son purchased a car on April 20, 2019 and about 2 weeks ago found out it had lock lug bolts and after contacting old owner said he doesn't know what happened to it, your a God send, Thank you so much again and Aloha from Joey in Honolulu Hawaii

I'm sure thieves already know how to remove wheel locks. I, however, bought a Camaro with wheel locks and it came without a key. I welded a nut to the lock and it came right off. This method is a lot easier and I wish I had thought of it. Great tip guys!
