I lost my key, i need remove my wheel lock's without key, i have the oem mcgard lock nuts. Anyone can help me plase ??
Excuse my broken english

 

actually i just ran into the same problem.... big-o must have stripped every freakin lock because they just pop back out when i crank on them. im not sure how to get them off so i just gave up for now. ill let big-o deal with it unless there is another good method -heath

 

Go to a tire shop (e.g. Discount Tires) they can get it off. If you want to D.I.Y. then Sears sells striped nut removal tools also... or just do what my brother did.. get a socket that will fit snuggly around the nut and hammer it in there. Then wrench it off as normal (usually those 12pt sockets work best for this procedure).

 

Thanks for the responde, i foun a kit here in Spain, to broke all wheel locks, in 20 seconds unit i replace all mcgard wheel locks for a new ones.

I did this for a few wheel locks I didn't have the key for. It works so well you figure that wheel locks are pretty much useless...

 

bang a slightly smaller socket on to it and it'll come off. Don't use use one of your best sockets or be prepared to have to buy a new one cause it will probably enlarge it a little but you could continue to use it for this purpose.

 

Just ran into this issue over the weekend. I broke mine key though. If you can wait tell a new on comes in the mail from Mcgard or whom ever. Then wait. But otherwise I welded a blot to the keyed lug nuts and unbloted it that way. I had to replace my front pads and could not wait. Although I will wait for the key to come for the rears. They can wait.

 

Damn, It won't let me edit.

I mean "bolt".

 

Tire shops will only do it with proof that its your car.

 

Just go to the Mazda Dealer and borrow the socket. I just left my license as a deposit. I showed them my registration for proof.

 

If you use a socket, make sure it has a guarantee.

 

If you got the McGard stock locks, there may be a registration # stored in the wheel lock bin. (That's where mine was)

I ordered new Splinegards from McGard (actually, ordered from Summit.com) $77 shipped

I got the red caps.

I couldn't get my old locks off, so I went to Tires Plus, where I get free rotations, and they removed them for me.

I'll post a pic when I get a new hosting site, as my old site just dissapeared after 5 years.

 

get a good quality socket snaop on teng that wont fit over the lock nut but only slightly 2 small hammer it on lol

 

To bad the lug nut is hardened and doesn't always work. Tried that this weeekend.

 

True, unfortunately, since the torque specs aren't all that tight for most wheels. A well-known thief method that's been around for decades (although I resisted posting it, as there's no sense in giving budding thieving bastards any ideas)...

 

Hey guys...I was just wondering how to break into an rx7 w/o setting off the alarm...then hotwiring it...can anyone help me please haha...I actually got one of these locks off once by sticking a magnum flat head screwdriver in there and vice grips on the handle of the screwdriver. Then turn away...

 

If you loosen the other four nuts first, the wheel lock will be easier to remove. This will help no matter what method you use.
