Some reason I didnt think it would be that big of a deal. But the local tire place said that they can't do it.

I just ordered drag wheels and tire too

Any sugestions?

 

Take a 6 point deep socket and pound it on the wheel lock with a Ford Wrench like this one.

 

yysenhimer is right, you can also try to take a cheap wheel key from the auto parts store that fits in the lug (wont fit perfectly) and then JB weld it to the lug.........this works, I had to do it when the tire shop stripped the locks on my Lincoln Ls wheels.

 

When I had new back tires put on at Discount Tire, they couldn't locate my wheel key so they used a special socket that has ridges in it that are slightly twisted. They just pounded it on with a hammer and put the impact to it. They came right off. I enned up buy new wheel locks from The Ford dealership and I think they were about $60 for a set of 4. To get the old front ones of I used a 13/16 s****et and a hammer. I think that was the right size. And be careful of your wheels the last swing with the hammer grazed the edge of the socket and I shattered my center cap. Usually any tire shop or criminals will have the special socket to remove wheel locks.

 

I used a 19mm 6pt socket, hammered it on, all 4 came off in about 10 mins!

Thanks man.

 

try one of the cheap gator sockets with the rods inside! It worked for me... Pat
