I bought a used 1984 corvette and it did not come with the wheel lock key. I need to get them off so I can check some items. Mechanic's Assistant: Is the key stripped or worn? I did not get one and can't find it in the car. Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Corvette yourself? What have you tried so far? I am going to do it myself when I can get the wheels off. I haven't tried anything so far because I don't want to mess up the factory wheels. Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? All I would like to know is how to get the wheel locks off.

Ok, parts stores carry a reverse spiral thread socket - see attached - that will grip the wheel lock lug nuts to remove them. you simply put an socket extension on the end of it, hammer it onto the wheel lock lug nut and then use either a breaker bar or impact gun to loosen them. Thanks for using Just Answer and letting me help you. I hope I provided what you needed.
