How to remove a locking wheel nut

[535459]

The thieves in my neighborhood are not this smart.

[westonj05]

I just use a stilson pipe wrench :P (I'm not a thief I just lost my key..)

[AlexJohnson04]

stupid ass previous owner put wheel locks on stock alloy rims for a pontiac g5 coupe. dumby didnt even have the key when i bought the car. assistance would be great

[AlexJohnson04]

can yu use the same socket for the other 3 rims, or do you need 4 sockets... no video says anything about that

[DriveBii]

Must be a world record :)

[shades2]

Hmm this works, but you risk stripping the thread, and you will mess up the socket and lock-nut. Good for an emergency though...

[GMHNUT]

bought a car 4 days ago that had been sitting in a paddock for 2 years. No key for the lock nuts......tried this and had them all off in less than 3 minutes using only the one socket which is now back in my toolbox. Just amazing......scarey actually.

[vikkiandbradley07]

can ijust say,thiswould never workif the bolt/nut was tightened properly,

also trust me that method dont work, i had to get the proper lazer wheelnut remover set, mine were so tight not even the tool could undo them,

[adrewsona]

Just tried it on mine - the outer just spins! Works fine for cheap shit locking nuts... maybe.

[kawasakicrazy04]

dont know whats the point in the video but you shouldnt youse a torque wrench to undo anything its a percition instrument so now youll overtighten all your bolts you relie on being right

[Paiste402]

i guess these are more to stop more opportunist thieves. I mean if i had to dick around with one lock nut at the side of the road for some wheels i wouldnt bother. They would more likely walk up the road and find easier prey

But of course the more knowledge prepared thief will have them off in no time

[aidan21]

what did you use todo this, like what hting did you hammer on tot he bolt?

cheers

[cartilige]

It's not that easy in real life. We had a one where the emergency mechanic had managed to snap the shaping inside clean off so we had to "adapt" a new one. Took us about 10 minutes with a large hammer and a long handled wrench to get one wheel off. Then about the same amount of time to get the bolt back out of the socket. Never though of throwing it at the floor, we just used a hammer and a vice to break it free.

gator grip for mine and a mallet

[videohaure]

I took mine off with a giant pair of channel locks... except one of them that was too frozen so I threaded another nut partially on and welded them together and just used a regular socket.

[Pollock274]

Locking nuts arent to stop people from stealing your wheels, No-one has ever claimed that. They just delay theives from doing so and slow them down.

[HiwattGuitarsDDR]

Yeah, that's basically it. Defeating locking lugs is a "piece of cake". Locks are hardly a deterrent- False sense of securtiy, at best.

[Hunterdivine]

do it to my car stupid jaguar locking wheel nuts!! jaguar can suck my nuts they won't lock up derp!

[JuanPapaNicolao]

[tezbtezb]

[texazranger04]

fail

[2008dodgeavengerse]

yea pretty sure that guy is caught on cam snipein them durrty ass wheels lol im pretty sure i got nicer rims than him and i got 16" plastic wheel covers

[cooolcars]

hes doing it rather quick. bet hes nickin the wheels lol

[corght]

Yeah but sometimes the lock nut is deep inside the mag so the extractor cannot reach.

[refillkey]

gator grip!

[bugwool]

Pity it dosent show the bit 10 seconds later when the real owner shows up and smacks the theiving pikey twat in the face with a cricket bat....

[kosmosleha]

will that hummering make your alarm go off if the car is locked?

[DODGEMEGACAB]

How to steal wheels. HAHA!

[cbmtrx]

yes.....BUT, if you have to whack on EVERY nut for EVERY wheel, then that's a lot more noise and time the guy has to be there.

Especially if they're trying to lift the wheels off a car parked in a driveway. (I just got my wheels ripped off last night.)

[xScoobyDoo82x]

This isnt meant to show how to steal rims. Its meant to show how to take the lugs off if you lost your key for them.

[bighorse215]

I know people that steal rims they never do everything in one night. one night they'll loosen your lug nuts and then the next night they'll take the wheels or if you have wheel locks they'll take one lock off a day because most people usaully dont check there lug nuts.

[BADGTS]

That is a old way to do it but use a impack socket so you wont stuff your tools.

[tmorg32]

I tried that on mine, but no such luck. It worked like a charm to heat the socket first, pound it on, then cool it with water.

[91tt300zx]

i gotta do this with my locks becaus i lost the key

[LeoBullterrier]

That wasn't even tight,

[daveylc]

Thats a fooking great long breaker bar I'm using..

[giggs102]

@LeoBullterrier thats what he said.

[Jinseok]

I remember doing this on my buddies car, he lost his key to remove the rim. He told me to remove all the tires it's a bitch to remove the lock from the socket once it's out

[daveylc]

Just put it on a scree driver with the head going through the square end and bash it or supprisingly enough throw it at the floor, the shock release it..

[jays24cars]

cool cuz i just bought a car that has then and the owner lost them so i was gonna pay a place to do it but it looks like i could try it my self huh

[1993nissan240sx]

yeah lol now your going to wake up go outside and your neighbors car will be on blocks because of some kids

[roulettered56]

thanks so much

[JakLoso]

can u explain what u were doing here in detail plz

[daveylc]

I used a hardened steel whitworth socket that was slightly smaller than the locking nut. Forced it on with a 5lb mallet and then gave a sharp jolt on a torque wrench to try and minimize slipage..

[JakLoso]

thanks for taking the time to make and post this video
