Huge Problem!!, Advice Needed
Hey guys, the other day after i had just finished changing my brake pads, as i go about putting my wheels back on,( with the wheel locks and the key), just as i finished the key to the wheel lock snapped in half, i dunno what caused, but now iam stuck with my wheels on the car, does anyone know a way or a shop i can take the car to so that i can get the wheels locks taking off without the key? or somewhere i can get another key made to my wheel locks?, all advice is welcome because i ran out of ideas.

Same thing happened to me. I was changing my shocks and springs when i got the rears done, and my crappy "Tuner Lugs" key broke in half. so I had to send off for a replacement key for the guy i bought them from. To make sure it never will happen again i bought some quality kyokugen wheel locks. To answer your question though, any decent mechanic should have a tool to get the locks off.

My boys work at a discount tire here in town, and when ever a customer forgets to give them a key to their wheels, they just use the square adapter piece that you put the socket on to the air gun to take the lug off. I've seen it done to my wheels, so its not a big deal bro, but you might want to get a better set of wheel locks.
