Yep, thats it. You just bang it over the wheel lock and turn it with a rachet or lug wrench.

Craftsman has a set, but they're like $40. PepBoys has a set for $20. I used them about 2 months ago one my eclipse, and they worked great. They have a thread pattern, vice the "bolt-out" pattern. You'll need like a 2 or 3 pound sledge hammer and a 18"-24" breaker bar with 1/2" drive to turn them (if you don't have an impact. Tap them on with the hammer, give them a couple truns, re-tap turn again. They didn't really scar up my locks either, but I still tossed them.
