So, luckily the Cornwall Tool truck showed up as we were trying the worn-out, lock remover socket that he had. They had a brand new one with sharp internal teeth that took the locks off rather easily. What a relief!
I never knew they made a special socket for that...I always just take a socket a hair smaller than the locking lug and knock it on with a hammer and take it off with an impact. It takes a good 5 seconds.
