How do you remove locking lug nuts?

Answer by  Christian9247 (5042)

Any set of locking lug nuts come with a sort of hex key that you use to unlock the nuts. You slip the key into the groves along the lug nuts and loosen them. Then you use a tire iron to take the nuts off the inside rim of the wheel one by one.
