Depending on the type of wheel lock, pounding a socket onto the nuts usually works for me. I had to do that with the ones I have now. Learned that buying a spare key is a lifesaver.Offrhoder said:O.K., I need to remove a set of wheels and they have wheel lug locks. No, I don't have the key. I was thinking about welding on an old lug and breaking them free that way. Is there another way to remove wheel locks? Thanks

as suggested, check with your dealer first. If they have the master keys they should be able to figure out what code your original one was and order you a dupe.Offrhoder said:O.K., I need to remove a set of wheels and they have wheel lug locks.

Toyota doesn't have the same locks. We have a kit with about 10 different ones.GreenTaco4x4 said:Toyota locks I think have the same locks on them. I bought my truck used and of course no key. I went to the toyota dealer told them I needed a wheel key for a 1997 SR5 Tacoma and they gave me one. No vids or anything crazy just the year and type of package it had.
