This is how "safe" your locking wheel nuts are.. Alot of people put way to much faith in them! Get an alarm with a tilt sensor!

  • That wasn't even tight,

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

  • 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

  • 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..

  • can u explain what u were doing here in detail plz

  • 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..

  • 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....

  • 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.

  • The thieves in my neighborhood are not this smart.

  • @LeoBullterrier thats what he said.

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

  • 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

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

  • Must be a world record :)

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

  • 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.

  • 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,

    

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