    Get a smaller socket... Bang it on then crack it... You might need 4 different sockets tho....

    best thing to do. its a common style lock so u should be able to get a replacement for cheap. if u can drive the car there so u can take them off.

    Save ur engines!

    There is no way you're gonna match up that key. Does neither the lug nor the key say who made it?
