    Locking Wheelbolt Removal

    So my "key" sheared when I was removing the rear wheel yesterday.
    Consulted the Internet and found a method which involved little time and expense.
    Bought a cheap 3/4" 12 point socket and hammered it onto the locking wheelbolt with a 3lb hammer. Hit it with my 1/2" drive air impact gun and off it came.
    Repeated the process three more times and went back with regular wheelbolts.
