Wheel lock key? Help!

[ccage]

This sucks.

I had a key for this when I first inherited the '96, but after the move I can't find it. I knew I shoulda thrown these away when I first saw them and HAD the key.

So, does anyone have a wheel lock key to fit this:

Go to Discount and they can remove them. I got all 4 removed for $20.

You may want to try borrowing somebody else's at the meet'n'greet. I know that for MSMs, all the wheel lock keys are identical. It may be the case for other model years, as well. Then again, $20 at DT ain't bad.

mine kinda looks like that but I would have to trade wheels with you for you to use it....lol

I will have to go get it out of the car but it does sort of look like that.

Try a BFH and a SOSTS and you should be able to muscle it off...

BFH - Big F'ing Hammer

SOSTS - Socket One Size Too Small

I take it you weren't there the day lugnutjon broke one of the locking lug nuts...

[Treibenschnell]

Yeah I was... I thought he used a BFH to get the damn thing of, no?

[tailchaser]

fortunately, the two pieces fit together well enough he was able to twist it off... the BFH may not be the way to go on fragile locking nuts.

$20.00 seems like the reasonable way to go, but if you're just way too cheap, could you just slightly flatten 2 sides of the lock (preferably on opposite sides of the lock :P) by grinding and then use a wrench or socket to remove it?
