yea there are a few tricks. Get either an easy out socket and a hammer and beat the easy-out socket onto the lock. Or you can use a regular socket and do the same thing. Just don't ask where I learned all this. laugh

ETA after this you are going to need new locks. [Smoking]

I've used vice grips to get 'em off before. Just clamp the vice grips on good and tight and then use a piece of pipe or the round end of a big wrench on the end of the vice grips for extra leverage.

To answer your question about the locks, I believe there are 4 or 5 versions of the Nissan wheel locks, each requiring their own key.

I have lost my wheel lock key twice already and had to send money to McGard, with my wheel key number(on a registration card I have), and get a replacement lock key socket.

After losing my key, I had a tire shop remove the locks. They did the easy out trick as described by far west X. After they were removed, I installed regular lug nuts. If someone steals my POS factory wheels, so be it, I have insurance.
