I had one of those locks on my drive till i lost the key. Took 5 min with a hammer and chisel and it was off

Yea I was thinking I will have to take a chisel and a hammer to it to make it come loose and replace with a regular lock nut.

hit the chisel striaght thru the outer collar till u hit the nut part then start hitting it counter clockwise and she'll come right off

Use a punch and hit the lock in one of the grooves that th key would fit in. Couple whacks will get it loose.

I`d suggest a dremel with a disc ,1 cut ,rotate collar, 2nd cut, split outer collar, remove inner lock.

Well thanks for all the help I ended up just scoring it with a die grinder then a chisel and split it into two pieces. Then a pair of vise grips and it came right off.
