Go to your nearby tire shop and let them do it before you really screw things up.

It's amazingly easy to get those lugs off.

Kinda makes you wonder what the point of it all is ...

$5-$10 at a tire shop....let them handle it, they are professionals....cheaper than damaging a wheel.

Go buy 4 regular lugnuts and take all the so-called locking ones off and throw them away. You will be so much happier.

I dunno I like the false sense of security that the locks provide.

As was mentioned before, go to a tire shop and have it removed, then order new locks and be on your way!

Personally, the locking lugs are a waste. They are simple to remove. If you really want security, buy 5 different sets of locking lugs, different styles, and use all 5 different syles on each wheel. That at least will provide an extra couple minutes of security - ha.
