Default Removing wheel locks.

Does anybody know if a AAA service shop would have the ability to remove locks without a key? I somehow lost my key.......after 6 years I have no idea where they paperwork went to get a new key made.

They lock is one that has a smooth outside and a design on the face of it. Scott and I got ONE off but with much duress. I got one of those GATER GRIPS but it's not big enough by JUST A HAIR!!! So I would have to break out the extension and sledge but I really don't want to do that just yet.

Thanks

How about whacking a 12 point socket onto it?

Blow torch - heat the lug nut and then you might have better luck with the vice grips ...

That simple. Drive to the dealership, prove ownership, plead your case.

The dealer ship can take that off in like 5 minutes. Just bring you old lugnuts, driver license, and the reg and they'll just pull them off for you.

Put your car on blocks. Watch from the window and wait for the thieves to do the work for you. As soon as they are done, run out there to claim back your wheels.
