    I acquired my dads 08 Scion Xb after he passed away last year. I haven't had to take the tires off until now, replacing brakes. To my knowledge they came stock. They look like a spline socket could go over it, I'll post a picture tomorrow if it will help. Does anyone possible have a key I could borrow ?

    I wouldn't think it would be that easy. The locks come with an key (adaptor), which I'm guessing you don't have. Might have to have a shop cut them off (or you, if you are savvy and have tools).

    if you really must, you can hammer a 12point socket over it and get it off that way. Also this will usually destroy the socket
