I used and air hammer with the chisel bit and went against one of the edges, use lots of PB blaster if you do this and let it soak. Otherwise youll have to drill out each lug stud after you destroy the lugnuts...Which REALLY sucks, trust me.

Well when the wheels were last put on a impact gun was used. I had to stand on the regular lugs just to get them off. didnt work so well for the one with the lock on it.

I know this is a super old thread but here is another solution to remove tuner lugs without the tool that doesn't damage the Tuner lugs by using an E24 Torx
