Find a socket that barely fits over them and hammer it on, then twist off. It helps if you have an impact wrench too.

I think most tire shops would probably help you with it if you asked.

awesome, thanks for the info guys. Also, is there anyway to buy a key?, or will I be better off just taking all the locks off?

I think you have to know the code for the key or something like that. I messed up one of my key locks and i cant get it replaced as far as i know bc i dont know the code for the key.

Try someone elses. I think there are only a couple different sizes. Dealership should have em.
