The kid that sold me the car told me that the wheel lock was in the car to unlock the stud and i have yet to find **** in this car. What is a FREE way to get this nut locks off i got new rims and i want to get these little bastards off.

 

Find an FC owner near you and borrow theirs?

 

i was wondering that but i dont know if it would work

 

Good title... I am sure lots of people are gonna want to read that after such a title. Please use a real description of the problem for a title, such as "wheel locks removal question" or the like.

If you don't have the lock key, then you will either need to get the correct lock key, or pound a socket onto the lock, and wrench off the wheel lock off.

 

I'm sorry? just frustrated so you think i should just force a socket on it and wrench it off?

 

There are removal sockets with reverse coarse threads in them that you use with the impact gun to take them off. I believe Craftsman makes a set and I know for a fact SnapOn Makes them. If you just take it to any local tire shop they will remove them very cheaply if not for free

 

Pretty much the only option short of cutting a slot in the lug/wheel lock with a dremel. If you cut a slot then you can use a large screw driver.

But I would just pound a socket on, and say good by to both the socket and the wheel lock.

 

First, I would talk to the guy I bought the car from, and see if he still has the wheel lock.

 

You know, I never checked... do the s4 na's that came with the phone dial rims have lug locks? Cause if they do im in the same boat...

 

I don't think so. I've seen three cars with phone dials, and none have had the locks, mine doesn't either.

 

Lug locks were a dealer option, and a common aftermarket add -on of the era.

They were by no means standard on the FC
