Re: Wheel locks
you can have a tire shop remove them for you or try and remove them yourself by pounding a smaller socket on the locked lug nut and removing it that way. I would just take it to a tire shop.

If they are factory wheels locks, find a local GM dealer that has an Amcor master set. Check here.

Ok. Then either convince the dealer to let you bring the master kit home, or you will have to ruin the nut.

I've always wondered if a gatorgrip would be able to spin a wheel lock off.

Highly doubtful. Most locks, including the factory Amcor's are round.

Re: Wheel locks
I used these to get a couple of wheel locks off the back tires at a pick-n-pull. Under $20 at Autozone. Largest one ate grooves into the smooth surface, next one was able to grip and turn. Had to use a hammer too.

Re: Wheel locks
I got something that will take it off for you Jon as long as you dont plan on using the wheel locks again. It will take 5 minutes.
