So i bought a wrx not long ago, which came with lock nuts and no key. Would a tyre shop be able to take them off for a small price. Or would jamming on a socket thats a tiny bit smaller and hoping that it will have enough friction to come off. I don’t really want to do this as I’m not sure if it will work and don’t really want ruin a socket.

 

Thanks

Bash a socket on and take them off is the most effective way
