Lost my lugnut "key". Now what?

[Eimaj]

I always leave in it the dash glove box. Now, it is not there. It's not really a key, just a socket with a special pattern that fits over the locking nut.

I have four regular nuts and one locking nut on each tire. They were on the car when I purchased it. I called the dealership and they said they would have to bust the bolts off??? Chances are, it would fuck up my rims in the process.

Now I am in the process of tearing apart the garage trying to find it.

Anyone know of a local shop that may have a universal tool to remove them with?

[devin]

yeah, we have one here at my job, lincoln dealership on 41, 20 bucks. get all 4 removed. lmk.

Well, I found out a universal tool will not work on my wheel locks.

The lock has an outside cover that spins, so a universal tool will not work.

Here is a pic.

What car is that on? It looks like a honda wheel lock. Any dealer has a master set that'll take it off if it's their lock. It looks like there's enough room to throw an extractor on there if you really can't find the key.

gotcha!!! call me this evening ;)

Alright......

Big ups to Mike at Yellow River Collision.

He welded a bolt to the top and was able to get them off.

I found out it is a 300C wheels lock. So after getting them off I bought a brand new set because they were a pain in the ass.

I'd hate to be the one to carry around that key ring... :tongue:

Well Honda sells 10 or 12 different wheel locks where the pattern in the center is changed slightly with every lock. They have a set that has a key for each of those locks that's checked out through the parts dept for techs that has a car where the customer either lost or forgot to give us a key.

Glad you were able to remove it
that a wheel lock is from McGard any Chrysler/Dodge dealer should have helped you with that no with questions asked!!
are Gorilla wheel locks better?

[StupidBikerBoy]

I have the same wheel locks from McGard and Im in the same boat. Glad you posted this.

Deeze, do all chrysler/dodge dealerships carry the keys?

[green91]

most dealers use mcgard keys, toyota does as well.
