Lost wheel lock key? Not a good situation, right? Well, if you have no hope of finding the key to your wheel locks, don't panic. You, or your mechanic, can still get your wheels off. And, it can be done easily and quickly with the right amount of tools, force, knowledge and practice.

For this particular wheel lock removal we used the Blue Point LSR 2500 Plus Lug and Lock Socket Set with the following sockets:
-Blue Point LSR 2502 7/8"
-Blue Point TSR-600
-Blue Point LSR 2501 19mm/3/4"
-Blue Point LSR 2503 17mm

We set the Blue Point twist sockets with a Snap On hammer-operated impact driver and a Craftsman 32 oz. ball-peen hammer. Then we drive it on further with 10 pound short-handle sledge hammer. Warning: Remove the impact driver before hitting with a sledge. And don't use a sledge at all when using the Matco kit. The only thing used from the Matco kit in this video is the punch from the Matco WCK402 Wheel Lock Removal Kit, to knock the lugs out of the sockets once they were removed. Please be aware that the Blue Point sockets will dig into, and damage, the wheel locks. As you'll see at the end of the video, the Blue Point sockets, with their left hand twist, really dig into the metal of the lock and pretty much ruin it. If we don't want to damage to the lugs/locks, we use the Matco sockets only.

Note: Eye protection and ear protection is a MUST for this project. Sockets and hammers can shatter! And never strike two hardened surfaces together. And if you must, please exercise extreme caution.

We really hope this Mechanic Secret gives you an idea of the process of wheel lock removal without key. This is obviously not the only method to remove a lock with no key, this is just our method. There are plenty of other very effective techniques to get wheel locks off. And, of course, there's a million other tools designed for this job by Snap, Blue Point, Matco, Lisle tools, Turbo Sockets and others.
