Best Answer

Most wheel stores and dealerships have a set of sockets that have spiral grooves inside that grap the outside of the locking nut to remove it. I have aset that I bought at a parts store some years ago and they work well, though its sometimes tough to get the lugnut back out of the socket once its off.
