pleeeeeease help!!!!!!!!!!
So I'm doing abrake upgrade and I was removing my wheels and I got to the last wheel and the wheel lock stripped out. I now have no idea how to get it off. Does anyone know how to get them off. The lugs are recessed in the wheel so I can't cut it there is barely enough room to get the socket in there. Please help me with any idea's no matter how crazy.

I've had to take off a few locks without the key, easiest way i found was to find a socket that fit tightly over the lock and hammered it on, then used a breaker bar to break the lock loose. Then getting the lock out of the socket is another issue.

Socket works the best, might require a blow torch if it is really on there. Always soak with pen. oil like PB Blaster works the best for me, with torch usually gets anything apart. Try to use a socket a couple sizes smaller if you can hammer it on there. Otherwise, it might spin. Try to use a quick jerk or impact to break the wheel lock loose.. DO NOT use an air gun though. It shouldn't be that hard. Then get some good wheel locks and a half inch torque wrench.
