there are two types of wheel locks automatic and manual, next time put what you have. I will include pic so of both, but I thin you are talking about automatic style. the snap rind either will take a special pair of snap ring pliers or a needle poing thing like a screwdriver tip and slid under the snap ring and taken off that way.you'll find the end when youpry up the ring but be careful to not move it to far until you find the ends.... if it's the manual, you'll need to push the gear in to release the snap ring.
