21mm 12 point socket: amzn.to/2MT0IfM (might get damaged in the process)
BMW wheel locks are a great way to protect your expensive wheel and tire investment. They are you best friend when it comes to stumping novice wheel thieves, but quickly become your worst enemy if they ever break and you need to remove them without a key. In this video, I show you how to remove BMW wheel locks in case your lock ever becomes too damaged for the key to work. I want to give a huge shoutout to everyone who gave me suggestions, and of course, my dad and my neighbor who came through with the brute strength.
I don’t want anyone to use this information with bad intentions. FYI, this took about a half hour for one lock and the whole neighborhood could hear us. You probably won’t want to steal a wheel with this method.

@mike519ca 4 года назад

Thank you so much for this video and solution! Stripped one key on the third wheel, bought two new ones and got that third wheel off, then stripped both new ones in the fourth. What pieces of crap! Had a 21mm 6 point and 22mm 12 point, neither worked. Bought the 21mm 12 point and had the sucker off in 1 minute. Thanks again!!

@DirtDude117 4 года назад

You should also use an impact socket as these chrome ones shatter. Shorts also happen to be better since they won't hit your wheel. I would use a strong impact extension too to take the hammering

@ryanh3285 3 года назад

This works on some locking wheel nuts but many of them have a ring on the outside that just spins so you can't do this.

@NisSubieTechA 5 лет назад

I recommend adding a breaker bar to your tool box. Ratchet with a pipe (cheater bar) will only work so long until the ratchet breaks. If that happens, you are SOL on finishing the job unless you have a spare.

@justinbuice 5 лет назад

Just bought one a few weeks ago. So much better!

The first thing I do whenever I get a new car is to dispose of the wheel locks. They are more trouble then they are worth. Most people don't need them unless they are living in Compton or the Bronx.

Kinetic energy always wins.. Did it once with a stripped out #45 torx.. hammered a #50 in and out came the bolt.

I Tried it on BMW 330! using a 21mm, and it worked without issues. Now I didn’t use a slash hammer, I used a regular hammer.

I was 🙏 for your wheel happy that sledgehammer worked. We use the same technique at the shop but, with a handheld sledge. Please go to harborfreight and buy a breaker bar my ocd goes bananas when people don't use them.. happy its off and your wheel in safe👍

@moreno746 3 года назад

I have the same problem now... I was in the middle of changing out my rear brakes and was on the last bolt when I realized it’s rounded off. I first need to buy a bolt from BMW before attempting a smaller size socket. Fml.

@TomSommer 5 лет назад

I'm glad you got it off. If you had AAA they carry an easy out that would have taken it right off. It looks like a socket but inside it has reverse splines. Get yourself a AAA membership and don't get stuck anymore.

@justinbuice 5 лет назад

Im going to look into that. They are offered as an add on through my insurance but I never thought I’d need them

@TomSommer 5 лет назад

One day you will. Also like Jason said. Get a breaker bar and a 19 socket. Harborfreight has a 1/2 inch for $9.99 on their add. Make sure you push the socket forward when you go to take it off. Take care!

It's easier to use 6-point 21.mm socket. Just grind simple v-shape the between the points, it will be a lot easier to knock the modified socket on to bolt and use brake bar to turn it.

Damn it... it's fucken common sense man! Use "Anti-seize" cream (copper is best) on all you wheel lug nuts and YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A FUCKEN' LUG STUCK EEEEEVVVVEEEERRRRR AAAAAGGGGGGAAAAAAIIIIIIINNNNN! Makes taking them off soo damn easy... Always use a long arm socket breaker and an extra long metal tube for torque just in case you need too! All this fit nicely somewhere in the rear trunk for future uses!
