Default Wheel locks
Anybody know of a way to get these off, when you accidently misplaced the lock?

I've tapped on an undersized socket to remove wheel locks, or you could go to the dealer and pick up a replacement.

I've got a set of these: http://www.amazon.com/EMERG-LUG-REMO...2481015&sr=8-4

I bought them from a local Ford stealership's parts department for ~ $5.
Use an impact gun to bang them on to remove the lock lug----getting the removal tool off the removed lock lug will require the use of a bench vise....repeat these steps 3 more times for the remaining wheels.
