August 13, 20213 yr comment_626788 If you can't find the key, best just take it to a tire shop, sign their waiver and let them get medieval on it.

August 13, 20213 yr comment_626799 got a welder? Weld a nut on the end of it, then use a regular breaker bar. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/65709-what-spline-lug-lock-is-this/#findComment-626799 Share on other sites More sharing options...

August 13, 20213 yr comment_626819 They also sell hardened cone shaped sockets with teeth. You hammer it onto the wheel lock and it bites into the nut to allow removal. I'd be a bit worried about grinding flats as you don't have a lot of space to work with before touching the wheel. I'm assuming you are trying to save the Chromodora wheels.

August 13, 20213 yr comment_626823 Bolt extractor. I usually use them with a breaker bar and tap on the back with a hammer as I try to rotate it to help it dig in.I have also beat them off with a chisel, but that is much less fun Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/65709-what-spline-lug-lock-is-this/#findComment-626823 Share on other sites More sharing options...

August 13, 20213 yr comment_626827 just for reference - I won an auction on this >> Sunex wheel lock remover. (Not at home right now so I can't snap a photo) Maybe google has some better photos - at least it gives a starting point. It was used, and some of the 'teeth' had snapped off some of the sockets. I don't recall if any of the sockets had that many teeth to fit over your application The auction photo (credit to People's Auction Company, Inc.
