get a socket that is just a tad smaller than the wheel lock. Use a mini sledge to hammer it on top of the lock. Use airgun or breaker bar to loosen the lock.

Socket can easy break.
This is tool design for such job.

op...don't you have the original box that the locks came in? If so, there will be a code in it for ordering a replacement key.

Sears tools are always pretty thick and too often will not fit in close spaces on MB.
I you live close to autoshop, ask them when Snap-On truck comes there.

From Amazon : "Sets are unique, a replacement key cannot be ordered. If key is lost, bolts should be removed by an authorized Mercedes dealership to prevent damage to the wheel."

Apparently mb dealers have a master key, or a number of keys, one of which will fit This is your best bet for removal.

I was able to place an order with McGard.. i send them a picture of the bolt and was able to narrow it down to two items.. Customer service told me to order both of them and just return the one that does not fit.. price for each is $14.99 Shipped to my location.. just waiting for the shipment..
