try using an old 12 point socket just about the size of the lock (you want a god tight fit) and a good size hammer watch you fingers in the next step as you will have to hold the socket over the lock and POUND the socket over the lock. use a ratchet if you haven't beat the socket so bad it won't accept a ratchet if so you will have to use a pipe wrench or something similar. the only other advice can give to you is take a good cold chisel and the hammer and bite into the edge of the lock in the direction to take it off (remembering that mopar vehicles use different rotations to remove).
IF you are trying to steal the tires or rims be advised that both these examples are very noisy and you WILL get caught before you can be successful.
I believe this did use to work in 1955, (what a load of old shite). Modern nuts have a spinning ring to stop this, plus most new locking wheel nuts don't have enough room round them between the nut and the rim. Just Google "locking wheel nut remover"..

Put the key in the lug nut lock and keep turning it until the entire locking lug nut cover assembly comes off...just keep turning it clockwise with the key until the whole thing comes off. Then use the lug wrench to remove the lug nut that is holding on the spare tire cover. Remove the cover and then take the other lug nuts off.

Remove Front hub nut on a 2004 Volkswagen Passat?
I own a 04 VW Passat 1.8L Turbo and have special locking lug nuts on all my tires. They are designed so that a thief cannot pluck off ur rims with any old tool. Basically, u need to call Volkswagen or go to the dealer and get a locking lug nut key (its a small plastic tool about $10 that will fit in the lugs and enable you to remove). I DO NOT recommend trying to have these locking lug nuts replaced with regular lug nuts without this key. I went to 3 shops and they couldt remove & I even went to a VW Dealership and now my rims look like they have been through WW2 and I now have a ABS sensor out (cost to replace: $300-400)- probably from the jackhammer it appears they took to one of my rims.... Hope this helps!!
