Sears has the tool you need. Also, any tire shop will remove the wheel locks for $2 per wheel.

Wheel locks are worthless and annoying

Go to your nearest dealer.They keep a master wheel lock set in house.
That is if they are factory locks.

Its a set of three different cone sockets that grip the outside of the McGard wheel lock and spin it off. Also as mentioned above the dealer will have a master set of McGard wheel lock keys.

I took mine to Ford dealer and they pulled it for free...I lost my key and wanted to replace mine with chromed anyway.
