Wheel lock lost, wtf now?

[Common]

Did an alignement about two months ago and never even bothered since then to check if they put the wheel lock back where I told them. They did not and now I'm screwed since I needed to take the wheels off to change my brakes.

Quick help?

I know most shops can remove them but is there any quicker ways since it's sat noon and most are closed until monday.

Find what socket fits it loosely, grab the next smallest socket, line it up, hammer it on, and take them off.

+1, this is the reason I dont even use wheel locks.
Iif you know what your doing you can get the lock off quicker with a smaller socket than actually using the key...

go to ford and usually they will let you drive the car in and they'll loosen em for you, then buy 4 new lugs and throw that shit in the trash.

I always knew these little shits were a small headache waiting to happen. Who the fuck will try and steal my wheels anyway?
This car never sees "shady" areas anyway.

I guess I will wait until monday and get rid of them all together.

+1 they have the tool to remove any kind of wheel lock. when I bought my car, it never came with a wheel lock I guess it was lost and they got me a new set, I watched them do it its simple.

if they are the factory locks the ford dealer can get you a new key for it based off your vin, when my buddy got is 04 cobra the last owner didn't give the key with the car the dealer ordered a key off the vin, it worked.

get a 12pt socket and a hammer... bang it on to the lock and use an impact.. works every time
