Any idea "how to" get these bolts off?

 

[CAJACK]

Is that anti theft requiring a special tool?

It appears so.

Grab it tightly with some vise grips. That will get it off.

call McGard and see if they'll sell you a key or

I keep my McGard key in the glove box, if you just bought it might look around. It looks like a 1/4 drive socket.

Much better than locking pliers.

 

[Plumber1]

Yea I have the thise also and I don't think pliders will work to well. They will just spin, might try calling McGard

On second thought these don't look like McGard locks, if you look at the picture LJ posted the lock part is recessed. Where in the OP picture the load part looks exposed

It's possible they're some knockoff but I have the McGard locks and they do slide inside the outer barrel like that.

What does the other end of the bolt look like?

yeah, it looks like you could get pliers on the "key'd" part of that one and get it off. Mcguards are really hard to get off without the key.

 

[Plumber1]

On the McGuard ones there is no other end, these go on in place of the factory painted nuts. But the ones the OP is showing look like they maybe a different brand.

These are the McGard one I have

 

[randy328]

I am now thinking the perspective in the OP's pic is not what we're used to seeing and those are McGards. I tried to find another brand that was close and came up empty, only McGard had that type of locking pattern.

 

[TJTurley]

Thank you for the input. I ordered the Mcgard via amazon and the pattern wasn't what i needed, but I was able to get them off with the socket set. I'm sure the Mcgard socket will show up at some point when i'm not looking for it.
