Wheel Locking Lug Nuts. No socket

Look in the spare tire compartment.

I have removed the type of wheel lock you have mentioned. There is a special socket to remove these with out the keyed socket. Most of the major tool dealers carry them (Snap-on, Mac, Matco,....). They require the use of an impact wrench to work. Check around I am sure you can find a source for the tool or a shop with one. MU

pound a socket over the lock lug to unscrew it. This is what theives do all the time.

Good idea !!! Dunno if I can use the same socket for all 4 lugnuts, but in a panic situation it's worth a try.

Thanks for your advice.... Good tip !!!!

The fact that you know that scares me Harry.

Pete,

It really doesn't matter if the dealer has the key or not. They should remove the locks for free. Put your foot down, man!

If you purchased a vehicle with wheel locks, they should provide you with a key, or remove the locks.

Good news regarding the wheel nuts. I found a sticker in the tire jack compartment, (behind all the stuff) with the manufacturers name and the ID # of the wheel lock nuts.. AND an address where I can obtain a replacement key. ($6.00).

With any type of luck at all, I can get a replacement key.

Thanks all for your help and suggestions. This time I really lucked out. I'm sure there will be a next time...and all the suggestions wll come in handy.

Thanks aga

Order 2 keys and keep one in a safe place at home...
