How to remove Locking Lug-nuts
How the heck do you remove these damn things if you don't have a key. I was told to weld on a lug nut to the front of locking nut. That way you can grip it....what do you guys suggest?

Weld on a nut, use vice grips, pipe wrench, hammer on a socket, split it with an air chisel, drill out the stud, go to a tire shop and let them worry about it, whatever you can make work.

With an electric impact gun your car would be on cinder blocks in 5. Quicker if you're working in a team.
