Default Security Wheel locks

My '97 GST has wheel locks on all four tires and I just realized that I don't have the right key to get them off. Is there a way for me to match the pattern on the lug nut to a key or is there a way I can get them off without having the key? I don't care if I damage them in the process because I'm going to replace them once they are off.

Another thing, I'm in the process of disconnecting and taking out everything in my engine bay so I can pull my engine out. I've noticed that some people have pulled the engine and the transmission all at once. Since I can't get my tires off right this second, is there a way to pull my engine without taking the transmission with it? I would like to keep moving forward with this project, even though this wheel lock issue puts a HUGE damper on things.

Default RE: Security Wheel locks

Nevermind, I was able to figure it out

All I did was take a 20mm socket and forced it around the wheel lock with a hammer. The lug came free rather easily once the socket was secure around it.
