aaahh man just when the weathers getting smarter!
calm down , just choose one of the 50 or so multiple personalitys that are trapped inside you. but make sure its the right one you dont want the guy that says "grinder off the whole rim",,,,,dont choose that one
i havent had a key for my locking nuts for over a year now
i knock a tight fitting number 20mm on mine yours might be a different size or type that cannot be done like this

when tightening up just pull back as you do so and the socket slides of,,,,eventually
no good for stealing alloys as its so noisy! this is how we end the trauma no need for calling yor muma
 
No you crazy person.
Follow your guide get the locking stud/nut/bolt off.
Get a new bolt and key instead of replacing the keyless one. :)

c'mon you dont want to make it an easy task:grinning:

you heard of other ways to remove? would be interesting , not that whole wheel cut of thing please
 
My methods
Collarless nuts socket hammered over the top
Nuts with collars I have 100s of lock nuts that I try if I don't find a match I can hammer in then I air chisel the thing anticlockwise till it comes loose
Vw nuts hammer a male torx bit into it
If all else fails oxycetaline the biatch
