Stripped Wheel Lock Key Frozen Stuck Wheel Lug Removal On BMW Using The AGA Wheel Lock Removal Tool 

Best video on this I've found. Nice job!

Did loads of those back in the days at the dealer, usually takes me 5 minutes if that. Didn't have to use that tool, initially a guy stayed back till 9pm to drill out, but he devised a better method in the end. You need: 19mm twist socket. (pretty sure of it, Wurth's set works great). 23mm bihex chrome socket (you need to get allot of those cheapies to see which one slots into the bolt wheel (this is for removing the ring). 1/2" breaker bar. Hammer. Get a suitably sized 23mm, smack it into the spinning bolt. Attach breaker bar and straighten the handle flush with the socket and yank up and down on it. The ring should break off. Smack in the 19mm socket twist socket (aim well). Breaker bar the 19mm twist socket and it should come off. You can however tape off the wheel, but really there is no point, all advised damage possibilty. Wheels are not a common target in most countries, just replace with standard M14x1.25 bolts torque spec 140nm.

Thanks for the video, i have a full understanding

Nice work.

it was so good video. do you have still aga tool?? i need it........

Thank you for the video....will give it a try later

yeeeeeees! worked a treat

Nice work, I also hate when the wheel locks are too tight or like you showed damage or worn tool but before all that you have to find the locking tool from the customer’s car if it there at all.

Thanks a lot! Very helpful:)

Were you doing this work using your garage at home? Looks like you have another BMW up on a lift but like most garages you're limited to an 8' ceiling. If that's correct, what brand lift are you using; do you like it? I'm looking for a similar set-up because anything is better than putting a car on jack stands and crawling underneath it. Thanks for your videos.

Excellent

Thank you soo much

Had this happen today, thanks for sharing the detailed video. The mcguard key stripped on the security lug, it was very tight and I was at it with a moderate sized breaker bar. I will toss the rest of these Hyundai supplied wheel locks when I can get this one off, the only thing they are good at is keeping their owners from changing their brakes! Getting to the point of not wanting to to tire shops. All they do is hammer fasteners and lug nuts with the impact! Mcguard says their key is proprietary/custom per the code, do you think the Hyundai dealer can get these faster or has them in stock? I figure they must have master sets of these as they work on them all day long, going to try to call a few tomorrow - can't wait a week to get them from the vendor. Thanks!

I just did mine, hit the stripped key lock with a hammer it will sink in and you will be able to turn it trust me. The dealer quoted $160 for just the removal ...lucky me when I did it.

Can you confirm of the 19mm twist lock from that bluepoint set fits the lugbolt?

I’m dealing with a 2013 M3 and I can’t get the AGA Tool behind the locking ring… I’m using an air hammer but I might regret it here soon. Things could get messy and costly

Hi, what is the size of the spline that you use? Because i have this X3 and and lost the wheel lug key. Thanks

nice were could I get that spline tool

Same problem with 2016 Mercedes e350 the bolt is striped so the key lock is useless to get off

i have same problem my BMW . my mechanic couldn't do it. he give it to another mechanic. he remove two rear wheel lock. front wheel he couldn't remove it. he missed up my rims in front. it look ugly. still couldn't remove. thinking to take to another mechanic i know. i hope he remove it. My question is can i sand paper the rim that missed up. where wheel lug is

now there is better tools in the market

👌

What year was that Bmw?

Damage wheel nut key caused by the garage monkey using an air gun to put the nuts back. As a mobile tyre fitter in the UK these wheel nuts do my head in when they've been completely over-tightened. However, these aren't as bad as the Peugeot, and now Vauxhall, 4 pin locking wheel nuts. You know, the ones where the pin falls out or the garage monkey rounds the pins so they just slip off. These things should be banned!

Trying to get the broke off lock key out and the socket is stuck now :/

what do you do when you strip the splines in the wheel bolt because some asshole magically managed to put the wheel bolt on with 900lbs or torque? Thats what my day is starting like tomorrow. Youd think a dealership would have a welder but we dont.. I got 3 of 4 off but, I think the last one they loc-tited on and just to be sure cross threaded it too. lol. What a life.

Totally agree gorillas in tyre shops over use air gun then "torque" without setting the Newton's,yes of course it will "click"

Easy use 12 point socket and impact wrench

some shops just don't care, I have got to where if I don't know the mechanic or service guy then I don't use them.

They probably impacted the first security bolt to oblivion and then had nothng to torque other three...

Ugdugadugduga about right. tire shops all have calibrated trigger fingers

I don't get this logic. Why not just buy replacement socket? Now you will need to do this to another 3 wheels O.o

Over torquing 10 times, we got it! Just get to the process, no need for several different situations.

Why do BMWs have the dumbest and most preventable issues. No one wants these stock rims and the fact that the end of the stud get corroded to the point of do this is criminal. I always tell my customers to avoid BMWs at all cost
