-
Clean the wheel lock to make sure there is no debris on the surface of the lock.
-
Find a 12-point socket that barely fits over the wheel lock.
-
The socket should not be loose enough to revolve around the wheel lock.
-
Hold the socket in place.
-
Use a hammer to hit the socket until it is tight around the lock.
-
Gloves are recommended to prevent hand injury.
-
Unscrew the socket using the socket wrench.
-
Turn left to loosen. If you cannot turn the wrench easily, get a longer wrench for more torque.
-
Now that the wheel lock is off, it will be stuck to the socket.
-
Insert the screwdriver into the square-opening on top of the socket.
-
Hit the top of the screwdriver with the hammer a few times until the lock falls out of the socket.
-
Grab a regular wheel nut.
-
Screw on the wheel nut by hand.
-
Use the tire iron to tighten the wheel nut.
