anti theft lug nuts

[thecrew2999]

ok does anyone know how to take these off without the special tool socket?
i am trying to get this swap finished up but cant do much else with the tires on the car and i lost the socket for the anti theft lug nuts. i never could understand these in the first place they break easy and well seems like they get lost easy. thanks for anyhelp

If you have stock slicers, just slap a pair of vice-grips on them puppies and wrench em off.

if you have access to a welder you can weld a bolt over top of it and get it off that way, i had to have this done for my van, the crap macgard key shattered, and i had to weld a lug nut onto the lock nut, works great.

i drilled the stud past the hub, inserted a punch, and whacked it once with a 3lb sledge. took all of 5 minutes.

Less than that.....I've never met a car with power locks that I can't unlock in less than 45 seconds..................

For future reference, most tire shops have a set of keys to get most off.
