Does anyone have any idea how to take a wheel lock off when changing a tire?

I have a 07 chrysler sebring and i caught a flat but i do not have the key to unlock one of the lugs. What can I do? No one seems to know what to do. Any ideas or suggestions?Does anyone have any idea how to take a wheel lock off when changing a tire?If it's factory wheels,call a dealership,they can help.

if it's aftermarket,the manufacturer may help

otherwise,weld a nut to it,unscrew it %26amp; get new locks.Does anyone have any idea how to take a wheel lock off when changing a tire?either take it to the dealer and pay 200 bucks for them to remove it or get you a hammer and chisel and try to take it off. take the chisel and make a notch in the out side of it and hit it so it is going the way you take it off. that would be knocker it back to the left. hopefully it is not to tight and you are able to get to the locking lug nut so you can do this.Does anyone have any idea how to take a wheel lock off when changing a tire?You can actually buy the key for the lock at a dealership, but they do charge a lot for the key. The benefit though when you do buy the key is you are now able to get the lock off and not have to go to the dealership or any other shop to have the flat changed. If you don't buy the key and end up going to the dealership or a garage anyways, you can ask the technician to remove the lock completely and replace it with a standard lug nut. Being on crummy Michigan roads, flats are common here, and most of my friends and family have had the lock replaced with a standard lug nut with no problems or questions asked.Does anyone have any idea how to take a wheel lock off when changing a tire?drive a socket on it and remove it with a breaker barDoes anyone have any idea how to take a wheel lock off when changing a tire?Call a local tow company that does roadside work, they have the tools to help you out.
