Can't tell you how to remove them, but I can tell you that if you park where you are supposed to that would not be a problem. I think that you will find little sympathy on a Camaro forum for someone risking a tow just to save a few steps. It's a friggin Camaro dude, you need to take better care of it.

Smaller sized socket and a hammer will get it off.

I bought the extra key that Gorilla offered when I bought my locks plus I wrote down the part number in my Camaro folder in my office. There's nothing like planning ahead.

I did the same. The key I keep in my car is hidded (zip tied) in the engine bay. No way to find it unless you know it's there.

Now that's a good idea!

Everyone who has lock lugs should own one of these..just in case. They work great and are not very expensive.
