yes. snap on sells a wheel lock removal kit, or you can weld another nut to it (put a good coving on the wheel before doing this). i worked at a junk yard and had this issue many times.... try snap on for the kit first or go to a local tire shop, most have it and will help

becareful with the wheels if you do the weld thing. sometime you can use a screw driver and hammer the end to make it twist off. just be carefull with the wheels. GL

A good chisel and hammer will do the trick
