hammer on a socket that is a touch smaller than the nut. take off the nut and then get the nut out of the socket. thats how I have done about a dozen locking nuts with no keys or striped keys.

If it's one of the round ones that you can't use a socket on, Weld a nut to the end of it, then use a socket on it. The heat from the weld will help loosen the nut before you try to break it loose. Weld thru the hole of the nut, make sure you have a good weld, and protect the wheel from splatter.

you can buy a tool to remove those. most shops have them too.

Ive called all my automotive shops and none of them have anything to get it off with?

well, the locking lug nut is one of those that is round, it is not hexagon shape?

You can cut a slot in the head of the lug with a grinding wheel then use a chisel to split the lug

Use a cold chisel and just tap it around works a treat
