In this video, I go over two methods of removing locking lug nuts when you do not have the key for them. One of them is with a basic DIY'ers tool and the other with with a special toolset.

I had to do this with a recent purchase. When my truck was in the shop, I decided I needed a back up vehicle so I bought an Impreza Wagon. Great little wagon at a great price but no locking lug nut key. I have no desire to have a wheel lock on my vehicles so need to replace these with regular lug nuts, So there ya go.

It might be worth noting that the lug nut removal tool I used can also be used for stubborn nuts that may be rusted on.
