You know the ones, with the stupid patterns in the middle.

Trying to figure out the best way to remove them with the least heartache.

Any ideas

Find a 12 point socket just smaller than the lug and hammer it on. Now you can remove the lug with a ratchet, breaker bar or impact gun.

1 socket per lug?? or can you get the lug back out of the socket?

DamonB

They're pretty much stuck together after that Plan on four sockets.

If you have access to a welder and depending on the clearance of the wheel and the lugnut you can also weld a plain nut onto the end of the lug.

what kind of locking lugs are they?

Sears sells a kit to remove those locking lugs.

VegasFD

Kinda defeats the purpose of the locking lugs to begin with , huh.

Sorta like car alarms only keep honest people honest.

doubtful, and I'm pretty sure the lockers are stainless. so much for the welding idea
