2014 Ram 1500: Removing Factory Wheel Locks Without A Key Or Cutting the Ring.

All you need is a 1", 7/8" sockets, ratchet, extension, and a hammer. The 1" socket will push the free spinning ring back jamming it against the inner lip. The 7/8" socket will grab on to the outer lip without spinning the ring. Took me about 15 minutes to remove all 4 locks.
Please like the video if this worked for you.

You sir are my HERO! THANK YOU for posting this video. Just did all four of my lug nut locks....I ended up using a 1" for initial pounding, then a 15/16" for the removal. Worked great. Thank you again. Now to put some$10 regular lug nuts one. Take care.

Glad I found this. Bought a used Ram 1500 and didn’t know the key was missing. Dealership wasn’t any help and this took all of 5 minutes for all 4 wheels. I used a 6 inch extension so I wouldn’t smash a finger or scar the wheel.

This video helped make me 100$ today. Customer lost his key, and had some hack come out and get a socket stuck on the locking lug. Removed the stuck socket, and followed this procedure and had them all off in less than a half hour. Much appreciated.

Very nice. I keep fighting with these at work every once in a while. I'll have to remember to try this. Thanks!

[@SterlingDavis421]

Thank you for this! I had lost my wheel key for my 2012 Ram and was able to get the locks off using this strategy.

[@sstanley99who]

This does work! Just took all 4 mopar locking lugs off my ram by doing this. It's a little bit of effort, mostly just getting the sockets back off. Really appreciate the video on this. The socket sizes were accurate as well.

[@cliko187]

Glad to hear that it worked for you.

[@deepindersingh7007]

Did it today and it worked for me. Thanks for help.

[@guybertrand7250]

Thanks for the video, worked great!

[@xaphka]

I'm impressed this worked as well as it did, i thought the metal would be too soft to hold

[@Baylor8]

May god bless you and your family sir!!!!

[@ramonrodriguez2981]

[@MichaelWikan]

[@luislanderos2653]

Works!!!!

[@arashmozaffari364]

Thank you!

[@tylerscheetz6097]

I have a 2014 Ram 1500 and that way didn’t work but is what I did is I took a 1 1/16th socket and hammered on there until wouldn’t go anymore and took a ratchet and it came right off.

[@joshbelcher1624]

I had luck just driving the 1 inch socket in. Then using an impact to take that off.

[@wave7707]

did not work for me the 1" socket did a good job pushing the ring back but the 7/8 will not even go onto the lug

[@cliko187]

Like the video if this worked for you.

[@Gen3ralGrimReaper]

Only 20 worked

[@dallasbelton4094]

can u do this

[@devonross5825]

Went to try this and the 1 inch socket is stuck on the locking lug nut and can't get it off for the life of me

[@kb8978]

Actually, just thought of a question.... looks like maybe you used a 12-point??? Have you ever tried it with a 6-point socket? I only have 6, so that's why I ask. Might need to pick up a 12.

[@cliko187]

The 6 point works also.

[@kb8978]

@@cliko187 Thank you! I just wondering if the 12 made any difference. I know sometimes 6 points seem to fit differently on fasteners. I appreciate the reply.

[@cliko187]

K B the 6 point worked better actually. It went in tighter.

[@matthewmuselius4090]

Sorry but i tried this exact technique on my 2014 Ram 1500. The one inch socket knocks back the anti theft ring no problem but the 7/8 socket will NOT grab the lip at all and just spins freely. I eventually went to the dealership and found a socket key that fit (had to try a bunch but they didn't charge me). My advice is not to screw around just go to shop and ask to see the lug nut keys--they will have on that fits; the "solution" shown here was not even close to working.

[@jesusquintana4006]

Bro i owe you 400 $ …dealership was charging 90$plus tax for each lock

[@cliko187]

Glad to hear man.

[@hughisafungi]

or just go to your dodge dealer and borrow there key to take them off

[@luislanderos2653]

I have four dealerships where I live and every single one told me the key was unique to my truck.
