Help! I haven't seen this question before...

[3100 special]

OK folks, I need some help. The rims I have on the panel have locking nuts. I know I hung onto the key for years but, I’ll be danged if I can find it anywhere. I ended up pulling the whole front end today, tires and all for my new IFS but… I’ve gotta get those rims off so I can put them up for sale.

I tried taping an impact socket on...no bite. I even made a couple of tries clamping a set of vise grips on a tapping with a hammer…no good. I didn’t spend a whole lot of time on it because I wanted to get other things done today.

I’ll give anything a whirl short of applying a torch. Oh by the way, if the photo is not good enough, it's the type that the notches are down around the bottom edge, not the grooved top.

Thanks!
