I know this is a old video , but how do i get the socket off ? in my case the socket just slips round - i will have to weld it if i can't remove it as the socket is on tight but i can't wiggle it off or even knock it off with a hammer now

I'm sorry but it's so obvious to me when dudes don't have a damn clue but they going to act like he do!! Knowing he watched the KZbin videos just like we all did!!! Lmao this "little thingy"... it's called a socket extension

worked thx

Dont use this method on a Peugeot or citroen, you'll turn a bad day into a terrible one

All the same Basic videos like all wheel locks are the same.. 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

I found it in the glove box thanks

Will the same size work for a 2004 toyota sequoia sr5?

Those assholes that work at the tire shop run those lug nuts all the way to 80 foot pounds of torque because they never get a flat.

NEVER USE IMPACT DRILL WITH "LOCK SOCKET" !

Will it work with spinning collars?

Two is one, one is none…

And the cure is more cowbell

“The wheel lock key that I religiously put in the glove box has disappeared.” That’s where I’m at right now. Where the heck did that thing go? I would never have moved it.

all fun and games until you realize the locking lug nut has outer steel rings that spin with the socket you just hammered in and cannot remove...

Top job !

Dam bought a car was gonna change rims come to find out I need a key to remove the slug never new cars had that 🤣

Thanks for the video it worked great

That's not a locking lug nut. It has no locking mechanism. It is a security nut designed to be used with the appropriate wrench.

Absolute genius mate. I took my nut off in less than 30 seconds. And now I have to remove another one. I am taking them all off. Thank you for a brilliant video. ❤❤❤

havent tried it yet but after reading these comments thought it best to leave a thank you now, in case i forget bro - thank you

Great idea but don't do it unless you're sure. My wheel locking nuts have spinners on them so now because of this video I have a socket stuck to my wheel nut which just spins

Worked like a charm thank you for the tip. I did it in very cold weather so once I pounded the socket on I heated it with a torch between the socket onto the lug. Then I gave it a couple more hits with the sledge. This helped secure the socket better to the lug and loosen the lock lug easier...in the cold.

I owe you a beer good sir

*braker bar 😜😜😜😜😜

Bro thanks for the info. It worked like a charm.

This works, the only thing different on mine was the locking nut had a steel collar ring on it to stop you from getting a socket on it.This is only made of thin weak metal so if you tap a straight screwdriver in-between it and the nut it will break up..then you can bang a socket on it.

Thanks Mickey Rourke.

I bought an expensive lug nut extractor socket set...the key lugs destroyed the socket...tried this and worked immediately. My 12 point socket was also ruined with this...but they are $8 on Amazon.

Yeah but what if my lug has the spinning ring?

Wont work if the lock nut has a collar on it.

Wont work on dodge one the have ring around them that just spins if you try to do this i thought i had mine coming off then come to realize there was that ring that was spinning and it wasn't get lose

Dude, you hit like a girl.

Not to long ago i took my car into quick fit to get a leaking tyre done, but then later fond out the locking wheel nut was so misshapen that there is no way they took the wheel off to fix it so must have bodged it for £25 but today when trying to get the same wheel off with the key, the key indent actually snapped off.

Just tried this method sadly did not work, and has left me with a worst problem, the socket is just turning round, know I can’t get the socket of.

Thanks job get DONE!

MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT HAVE A LOCKING NUT WITH A SPINNING BIT ON THE OUTSIDE! IT STUCK LIKE A CHARM BUT NOW IT JUST SPINS AROUND! NOT ONLY DO i NOT HAVE A LOCKING NUT REMOVER BUT NOW i HAVE A SOCKET RAMMED RIGHT INTO MY LOCKING NUT THAT IS JUST IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE!! BEEN HAMMERING IT FOR HOURS BACK AND FORTH AND IT JUST NOT BUDGED!

Tight other 4 lug nuts as much as you can and you can do it much faster and easier

My car didn't even come with a key to the wheel lock.

came for the nut, stayed for the hair.

Hammer a 12 point socket on then use power bar

Thats a mallet and a vice

This only works one some of them. Most of them have a ring around the outside that will just spin if you smash a socket on it

Worked 100% my friend, I just tried everything to no avail, even soldering a nut wasn't working for me. Greetings from Portugal.

Loosen the other wheel nuts, go for a short drive and that will Loosen the security wheel nut. It will just screw out wheel your hand

Thanks mate!! That did the trick! Actually I used a similar socket that is meant for nut removal and then the hammer as you did and it worked it

Just use a 17mm, we had a newbie take them off and didn’t realize it was a locking lug, thought it was broken.

very flawed way of doing it, especially with the proper thatcham approved locks with spinner , if the socket gets stuck and just spins then you're in for the long haul to remove the socket and trust me, you will do damage to the wheel.

12 point socket lol

You would do better to just get on with the job rather than telling stories talking crap and messing with your hair 😂 just do the job

Good lord dude to it already!!!
