Find an FC owner near you and borrow theirs?

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.

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.

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
