5 NEW Ways to Remove a Wheel Lock Without a Key

What's up guys, Matt with beep and Jeep in a previous video titled 3 Ways to Remove a Wheel Lock Without a Key? I showed you three

ways

to

remove

the

wheel

lock

without a key. In the comments section there were many people who had suggestions on how to make it easier.

ways

you could do it, so in this video I'm going to show you five ways suggested by users, the subscriber, let's get started. Hey guys, this video was brought to you by TMR Customs. I have always had excellent customer service from them and their parts are phenomenal, from rod ends, life, Himes roll cage and chassis build parts to link brackets, axle trusses, Jeep bumpers, dies armored dimples, fabrication tools, steering, construction parts and more, check them out at TMR Kustoms, calm down, okay, first of all, let's take a look at four different

lock

s that faced the first one is made by Mopar and this one is The most unique one, it has a ring on the outside that you can turn and the lock has this kind of puzzle piece and the key is the opposite and if you turn it it's perfect, it locks and that's how it works.

It will be quite difficult to overcome it. It is the most complex. A side note. This Mopar key is the one I had in the first video and I needed to

remove

it because the dealer. He didn't help me and I couldn't get a key or ask for one and he said they don't know what kind of key to ask for because they are all different so I'm not trying to steal

wheel

s. I'm not trying to show how to steal wheels there are many legitimate reasons why you need to be able to remove them and the thief already know how to do it without watching this video the next wheel lock this is a mixed protective wheel lock and it is very similar to the Mopar and which has a puzzle type piece and a corresponding key, it just doesn't have the ring on the outside, but is very smooth and cylindrical on the outside.

The third one is this gorilla protective wheel lock and it's pretty unique because it has this key that's inside it's kind of hidden, so the key goes inside the wheel lock, as you can see, and the fourth one is this one on the which everyone is used to, it's a pretty much universal wheel lock and I wouldn't even say it's a lock because there aren't that many keys out there and almost all of them fit in the same one. There are a couple different ones, but you can get them at any auto parts store, so it won't cover you very well if you try to block. lift the wheels, while a lot of people say to just go buy one from the auto parts store.

Well there are hundreds of combinations and it will be very rare or almost impossible to find the right key, that's why they make them, they are locks and they have different combinations, so with that being said, I don't think every method will work for every wheel lock, that's why I showed you the differences, but let's move on to the first suggested method. Alex Ottoman says to hammer the correct size 12 point socket. works almost every time 505 ring rotates. I didn't realize that until now, so you can't hit one on top because it will just spin. This one also spins, although you might be able to grab it there, it's easier.

All said and done to find the correct plug that will fit there. I think this one might fit here, this one might fit inside there and this one might fit on top, so let's hit them and see if it works, I hope so. it works because it's there okay, oh yeah, that worked like a charm, although I'll probably never get my lace back. What about this one? Let's try this one. No, that's eating it. Let's hold on stronger. Oh yeah. Let's try this one. that ring, I need to try to take it off now before it gets too bad, yeah you see all I did was hold on to the outer ring and for the mittgard I can't find a socket that fits well because it's so cylindrical.

It is too small or too big. The second most suggested method was this Clinton Valentine says buddy, grab the jaws, tighten them, so you need channel locks to hold them, add a tube to the handle and voila, let's try it. so I think it will be easier said than done. I think it will work fine on this one, but the rest is hard to tell, maybe because of the video, but that thing is further in than the wheel and this one barely has it, it's nice. It's very red with the wheel, so trying to grab it is a challenge because you're also fighting the wheel, it doesn't stick out enough, this one does, it sticks out a lot more, let's try it, yeah, no.

I think that's going to work guys, don't just slip off, okay, I have to say you can't use the screw grips, maybe only if they had named brands that were really sharp and could tighten them really tight and the nut would stick out. very far away and it was this type of nut, but this one with the rotating trim and this one that's super soft definitely won't work and you won't be able to grab it because it's too recessed into the wheel, so that brings us to technique number three. Kowboy Woodward says the cold chisel and hammer works every time old school works, let's give it a try. hammer chisel.

I also have an air chisel, but I realize most of you don't have one of those, so let's give it a try. It's the old method, as he says, it always works. Let's try. I will do the best I can. Let's try this guy. It's super soft. It's going to be difficult to get a good bite. Alright. I already started something there. I'm going to work to the left to see if we can free it up. I'm going to damage the wheel again. This doesn't work as advertised, cowboy, you said it works every time. Try this one.

I feel like there could be more success because it has some bite, I give up, let's try the pneumatic hammer and see if it works better cowboy wood, where did you lie to me? And now we're going to have to move on to technique number four, so Geoffrey Cornell says you can. buy a lug nut remover at autozone it's basically an easy remover it has reverse threads and they suck that bite into the lug when you loosen it. I did three of those on my Honda let's try it alright guys check it out this is what he's talking about these kits have a wheel lock nut removal kit and it's basically knurled on the inside and it's supposed to grab the locking nut.

The problem is most of them are too small for the app so you have to make sure you get the right game, this one didn't work, the next game I bought was this one and it goes up to one and an eighth now that that thing is what big enough for Mopar wheel locks, so we'll give it a try. I also bought this one at Autozone, the biggest one Autozone had was an inch in diameter and it doesn't fit over the Mopar but it does fit over my guard so we'll try that too so there are two different designs and these lugs. nut remover tools there is this type of design and this type of design which one will work best I'm not sure but I can't tell you this one doesn't fit there is there it does fit there this one will fit here and this one will fit there maybe okay let's try them first on guard here we go, done, wish me luck, oh that's pretty violent but it worked, it took a second to get bitten and I'm happy with it, it's great.

I wonder how difficult it will be. It will be to get out of there, although let's try this groove right here and see what happens. Oh, I dug a little deeper there and finally got it out. Amazing, well this one works on the Mopar, the one with the twist. Ornament on it, I don't know, but let's find out, here we go. No, and now I probably won't be able to take it off. I hope you like this video because it is costing me a lot of money. Basically, what you do is spin. It is placed on that ring but the ring keeps spinning it is not able to hold on to the real Ignat how am I going to lift it?

I'm screwed, literally screwed, oh oh well I got it working but it's definitely screwed the wheel is probably screwed this up and yeah I'm not fazed so it's all in the name of science automotive science so I hope it's worth using scientists, let's move on to tip number five of the real X SEC or something I can't read. too small, I probably would have just cut a straight line across the nut and screwed it on with the largest flathead screwdriver I had. Know? Sounds like a good idea. Let's try. Well, basically what it's saying is that we want to. cut a slot in it like a flat slot and then use a flat head screwdriver to pry it out.

It will work? I don't know, let's try it now. Let's take a screwdriver, put it here and use a wrench to get more leverage. I don't want to do it there, I'm afraid that will break it, so let's put it here, okay, here we go, hmmm, it definitely doesn't look good. I'll need a giant screwdriver if anyone would like to buy me one. My shell box is listed below. I'm just kidding, yeah it's just coming out when I press it, it just pulls, so you can't use that one. Well, I told you five, but a couple.

Of those were failures, so let's make some additional suggestions and see if we can really get it done. Robert Pender says I literally did this two days ago with my spare. I went to polish down to the plans and used a very heavy open-end wrench and a bracket, let's give that kid like that. Basically, what he is saying is that he only needs to polish two spots to be able to fit a key there. In my last video, I polished six points and put a socket on top, but if we could polish two, we should be able to put this key on top. and then add lever to turn it off, let's try it, okay, I have ground two points there enough to put a key in there, the problem I see is that it is quite shallow, it is difficult to get a key in this wheel and the second thing is Will the wrench fail before it applies enough torque to undo the nut?

Let's try it, let's find out it worked, yeah honey, okay, good job guys, thanks for the advice. Okay, that was great, but let's do bonus tip number two. comes from Braden Bretzel, good advice man, but instead of wasting a socket, just use a nut and weld the inside to the top of the locknut. Let's try it, so last time I welded a bushing here to remove it, but what Braden and many others said is that instead of wasting a bushing use a nut. I didn't think much of it because it was just a spare second I had in the drawer, but it's true that we don't need to waste a shell.

The nuts are much cheaper. let's solder this in there and see if it works well. It's not very good for your wheel, but it works. How about? But if you're worried about my wheel, don't worry too much. This is my real wheel, that's hard to say, but. those were just factory takeoffs, so no big deal, so what did we learn today? Well I will say that I learned that Mopar is definitely the best lock set if you are interested in keeping thieves away from your wheels, followed by the known guard and then the bouncer were not so good when it came to being able to take one out yourself.

The best method I found was to get one of these sets. I'll leave the links to the sets in the description below, but definitely if you have the Mopar and want to get one of these larger sets that has up to one in 1/8. I think otherwise it won't even fit the wheel lock. The second method I'm going to say is probably to tap a socket over the Top, but like we said, the Mopar doesn't work that way because it has that rotating ring on the outside, the gorilla guard, if you find the right socket you can just tap it in to the inside and, if you have a soldering iron.

That's pretty easy too, just weld a nut on top, although I'd take some duct tape and cover the wheel if you plan on using that method. Alright guys, I hope you enjoyed it. I hope you learned something. I hope you learned what. not to do what to do and if you hit the thumbs up, subscribe and hit that little Bell icon and I'll see you in the next video.
