Getting locking lug nuts off without the key . . .
Buddy of mine bought a car(Nissan Maxima) with locking lugs and is going to get a wheel/tire package off of tire rack.(no need to go to the shop). How do you get those things off??? He already went to the dealership and they said its an aftermarket lug lock and they didn't have a key.

Theres a kit on ebay you can get that you use an impact gun to get them off with. I had a similar issue and took it to the local tire place and they took em off for me for 1 buck lol.

wanna know the easiest way? use one of those locking adjustable wrench type things. I had to do that on my buddies svt lightning when he blew a tire out. just get it on there real tight, and twist the wrench to get er' loose.
good luck

Find a 12 point socket slightly smaller than the locking lug nut outer diameter and beat it on with a hammer. Use a breaker bar and back them off. Just did this on my wife's neon. Work like a champ.
