No key,packaging, ect...in other words, i have no clue what the code is and if there is a code on the lock i cant see it b/c its still stuck on the wheel.

just go to pep boys or something and like someone said before get a socket one size too small and hammer it on there....yes it works on round lugnuts...i have had to do this before and it worked perfect...they only problem is sometimes if u hammer it too hard the lug can get stuck in the ratchet so may have to buy a few ratchets but they are only a few dollars and buy the new locks

nah you dont get the arc near the wheel itself, weld the inside of the nut not the outside... ya thats too risky. i have never done it myself, it was done in a shop i used to frequent. but im thinking if your careful enough with welding blankets, it should be fine.

just use a 12 point socket that will barley fit the lock, if you have a good socket when you hammer it in the points will dog into the lock so therefore allowing you to twist it off. Once it comes off the lock may not come out of the socket easly just grab a hammer lay the socket on its side and give it a couple of whacks near where the lock and socket are connected and it should pop right out that's all they are going to do anywhere else..
