Default ?Clean wheel speed sensors with wheels on car?

Can I get to any or all of my wheel speed sensors without removing the rim?
Kinda misplaced the wheel lock key, 2 wheels are on the car for abit, a front and a rear.
Thanks

Jaguar locking wheel nuts for the US market are usually sourced
from McGard. They have a service where you take a photo of the
wheel nut and email it to them.

Using the photo, they identify, then supply the correct key.

Cost is under $30 including shipping.

The remaining 2 are aftermarket, previous owner had poured money into it before he got busted and I got it from the local DEA auction. Other 2 the inspectors removed.

Guess I will buy some liquid steel, put it into an old socket, cram it on the nut and see what happens the next morning, works in theory.

I hope a good cleaning of the eyes will clear the random warning lights.

There are plenty of how-to videos on YouTube for this issue. Just search "how to remove locking lug nut without key" or like phrase. You don't need "liquid steel" as I doubt it'd work anyway.
