Thank you. You are a gentleman and a scholar. I’ve learned you can get a replacement key for your set from the company that makes those locks and keys for $19, but it takes several weeks and you must know the serial number. In my case I need the wheel off today , so I’m going to ruin one with your method. Yet order a key for the other 3 locks.

I'll be punching mine tomorrow morning! Destroying them is the only way I'll ever find the key. It'll appear immediately after I finish the job.

This has to be the easiest way to remove the MOPAR lock nut. Good stuff Jimmy.

Worked great! Purchased a brand new 2022 Jeep Wagoneer last May. Went to have some snow tires put on about 6 weeks ago to only find out that the key was missing from the original package. From what I understand, the dealers put these on and not from the mfg. So they forgot to put it back!!! They said they would order me one but damn it never arrived and they now won't return my calls!! USELESS POS!! Got them off in 30 mins!! Thank you, sir!!!!!!!

Excellent video. I need to do this, but the rings are feisty. I had the right idea, but I need a pointed punch. Thank You

Big hoss! Thank you very much sir. Got one off today on my 1500. These mopars are a pain in the ass. Your method worked great. Will get the other 3 off later this week. Thanks again!

Huge thank you. Was trying to figure out how to crack this nut and your method worked great! I started with a punch, switched to a chisel in the middle, and then went back to the punch as I got close to the wheel as to not gouge it. Worked like a charm, only scratched one wheel with the flake of alloy that peeled off the lock.

Brilliant Jimmy. I've got the same problem with my 2012 Ram 1500. the repair shop i go to lost the original key and tried a removal tool that messed up the outside of the lock nut and they have no clue as how to fix it. So, i'll try this myself, thanks a million.

Just did this but used an extractor kit to bite into the lug after tearin that spinning piece off. Saved me the ton fountain tire was gonna charge me to do it. 30 minutes in the driveway and they’re replaced with shiny new normal ones. Need a new center punch tho. Thank you!!!

I have this issue on my brand new Jeep Gladiator. Dealer doesn’t have the key (said they got it from a different dealer who installed the locks) and said they can’t help me. I’m going to try this as soon as I get a chance! Thanks!

Sharing just in case this helps anyone else. 2016 Jeep Cherokee. I didnt lose my key but I slipped when removing the locking nut and damaged the key. Found inspiration from this video and used a center punch to reshape my key. Then lined it up perfectly and with one clean hit of a hammer was able to get it seated well enough to break it loose

Your method worked great! I had 3 to take off, went and got 3 sockets for 5 bucks each and used all 3, taking them off the locks will be nasty. I have a 2017 with the stock 17 inch rims, there was just enough room to cut the collars off with a dremel and small #420 discs. Thanks again!
