The company that put new tires on my winter rims USED A DAMN AIR RATCHET WITH MY LOCK. Needless to say, it was ruined, so I had to buy a "special tool" at Advanced auto to get them off. 28 bucks. It gets hammered over the lock, and backs them off. The problem is you have to hammer out the lock after, and its a b****.

12 pt sockets work wonders. THat's what I always used. Hammer on a 12pt socket that fits tight and pop a ratchet on there and twist 'em off....just use a craftsman scket so you can return it one you f' it up.

i sent him a pm on how to get them off without destroyin the keys and being able to put them back on the same way they are removed.. so his problem is solved

 

[Murphy3603]

does any1 know of a lug key for sale...

 

[Shane5425]

to get a key, you will prolly have to go buy the another set with the same key..

I wasn't aware that MP3's came with wheel locks. Mine did not come with them

 

[Shane5425]

could be aftermarket lugs..
