Wheel lock adapter
« on: April 12, 2010, 10:09:33 AM »
I back into my parking spot last night and my check tire pressure light goes on.
I get out and I hear hissing.
2 month focking old tire has a hole in it.
I go to take it off and the wheel lock adapter is pretty well worn  :banghead:
I never had to rotate my tires before I put new rubber on so...
Where is the best place to go to get a wheel lock adapter ?
The thought is starting to raise my blood pressure again  :mad:

I need to get the lock off.
The adapter is rounded off just enough to not work.
I dont want to keep trying andfock off the lug nut.
Whats the trick?

Nordies' done it before ;D
yes, find a twelve point socket that is one size smaller than the o.d. of your lock and one good wack and it should grip the lock(lug nut). then ratchet it off. now this trick is just to get the lock off. if its a dealer lock try them for a replacement key.
good luck

I banged a socket onto it.
It worked, but now I have to get the other three off  :mad:

I would have been more than happy to go get a set and have them swapped out.
BUUUUT nnnNNNNOOOOoooo ,

I just gotta get a new set of locks and I'll have the tire patched and have them remove the old locks and install the new ones.

EDD checks dont go as far as they used to.  :-\
