How To Remove Wheel Locks Without a Key – EricTheCarGuy

1. Always a fly in the ointment……My lugs (RAM) are torqued to 135ft.lbs. Had some work done on my truck. The tech didn't return the key, didn't notice till 5 months later when I needed to repair a tire….of course the tech said he returned it.

2. Good luck getting it on🤣🤣holyshit that’s funny🤣🤣🤣

3. thanks eric 👍

4. Puting a wheel lock where you can't find it is not a problem. If you can't find it, it must not be on the wheel. What you shouldn't lose is the KEY!!!

5. Thanks, i'm going to get new wheels tonight!!

6. Wheel locks are a waste of money, good criminals have the master set or a twelve point socket gets them off. These locks are a great way for the dealer to over charge you when you buy the car new-cash add ons

7. That must be how they stole all my wheels on my 2020 GMC Denali. Now tell me how to prevent the theft of my new insurance paid for wheels from getting stole again.

8. I have three different locks on each tire……

9. Mmmman. I can picture the 12pt spinning forever & then you can't get it off either. THEN you got problems haha

10. Just lost the key for my mother's 2008 Town and Country. Time to remove the wheel locks.

    Edit: Got a lot of old & inherited tools RE 12 point socket with lifetime warranty. I think I'll just buy the special socket set….. so I can use it one time and have more tools.

11. Leave it to Eric to put another useful video out here. Thanks.

12. Great now people are posting videos on how to steel tires 👎

13. Thank you! This is the best fix on YouTube.

14. Did a friends front end ball joints, tie rods, control arm bushings, etc and he had one rim lock on drivers side. Needed to get it off, your video as usual helped a lot. Thx bro

15. Will he respond to a comment 10 years in the future

16. So what you’re telling me is no thief is going to spend all this time to get 4 wheel locks off 4 different times when they can just go steal another set of wheel for a fraction of the time 🙂

17. Dude thank you for all your help I just got my rotor screws off and your way was so easy I felt stupid trying different things til I got to your video. You’re a badass and thanks for the help

18. Don't take stuff from other people, don't vote for a socialist.

19. Thanks

20. Damn it Eric. Now people know how to steel my TE37’s 😢

21. Well what can I say. It's a lug wrench⋄⋄>share4.photo/cWheelWrench?えi     Small in size until you need more leverage. Extendable. Good for whacking people if you're being mugged. Sturdy construction. Will definitely leave a mark.

22. "Wear glasses while hitting it." 😆😁 Thanks for the advice sir! Lol.

23. My wheel lock has 8 points instead of 12, are there sockets for 8 points lock too?

24. Now do it on jeep wranglers spare tire…

25. …when the rain stops and after the Doctors appointment, this will be a successful attempt. 12,2,2019

26. whoever said that brute force doesn't work? XD

27. Gotta wreak 4 sockets to free 4 wheels?

28. My problem,,, the guy i got the car from has locks on every lug nut. That's 6 lug nuts x 4 wheels = 24 sockets I would need.

29. this is a good video though

30. aww man! i don't have these tools 🙁 frick i just want to take these freaking rims off wth

31. Thank you ☺️

32. Bro , your a real lifesaver. It worked just like you said. My wheel lock broke when changing a flat tire and this video saved me money and time! Thank you

33. Thanks works well, just stole Porsche rims.

34. At a junk yard!!! Need the key!

35. What size socket????
    13/16??

36. Worked on my Audi A8

37. Steel rims are the best, when I ding one, I just go to the scrap yard and get another for dirt cheap.

38. The locks I have can be taken off eith a regular socket but it gets stuck in the socket and has to be heated up with a torch so it expands enough to let go of the lock. Theres no way somebody is getting your wheels without a key because they will be there for a while

39. why can't you people use the key ?? you can buy it for cheap price and you guys don't need to damage the lug nut

40. Nice vid homie…

41. Thanks eric 🙂

42. I now own a set of wheels and I don't even own a car . Thanks man

43. Hey Man I want to thank you so much. I "lost" the key like a month ago and was freaking out since I didn't want to damage my fancy wheels. And you just saved me with your "just search for the key" tips. I had already searched everywhere but decided to listen to that good guy on YouTube (you) and search again. Finally found it in the toolbox I never use attached to a ratchet I never user exept for the last time I removed my wheels. Thank you so much my man. Such a simple idea saved me so much assle.

44. Bought a car with these locks and no key..got all four off with this method! 19mm worked for me btw. The trick is to only hammer it on far enough to grip so you have room to do all four.

45. That helped save me money… Had to hammer and turn, hammer turn but it worked. Thanks

46. What size socket did you use? 19MM?

47. Just bought a truck put on the winter tires with the lock in the fall about to take them off now in the spring i use the lock and the lock decides to break YAY LOVE FORD

48. So it's bad to steal wheels but okay to rip off a socket manufacturer?

49. Yeah I’m just gonna buy some keys.
