12 point deep well socket and a 3lb. sledge hammer should do it. Hammer the socket onto the lug, then use a breaker bar to remove it.

I found locking lugs on the wheels of my '92 to my surprise after buying it, took it to a local do-it-all shop, and $10/5 minutes later they were off.

Looks like a standard spline socket to me. Kits are dirt cheap like 30 bucks or less. Break them bitches. Who cares if you break sockets...thats what lifetime warranty is all about! If your parting out that limited...who cares if they break? Your truck never sees daylight in order for someone to steal those things.

Those Rims have T.I.T. written all over them!

try a new 12 point socket till you find one that fits, then throw them out. Having keys on wheels can be a pain in the ass for this very reason, it requires two sockets to remove a wheel.

Atleast your S/C is out of the box...I keep finding things to buy at good deals and install, its really holding me up...Black Escalade Seats turns into Buying Black carpet...buying train horns and a tank turns into bags...its never going to to end...think I am going to pull the plug on the internet till its all done!

Execuse for my ignorance...how you going to feed the Blower? I am limited with the spyder unit unless I do a marine or pro flow swap. You guys can upgrade to a holley unit...is that sufficient enough?

I have a socket like that I got it and the lugs on summit racing....it was a kit but maybe if the standard socket doesn't work you can look there. I'd put a normal lug on there once that is off
