So anyone have any idea how to get the factory locking lugs off if you don't have a key?? i finally desided to take my rear-end out and found out that i didn't have the key for the rear lugs. kinda wondered why the fronts where in the glove box when i got the car. so anyway to get them off or getting a new key from mazda? if anyones had the problem so far. which i'm sure someone had to have. thanks tod

 

there is a socket made for it. i think sears carries them. it will be worth the money to have a new tool. you wack the socket on the lug with a tap from a hammer then as you twist the lug off the socket will bite and dig into the lug and twist it off. or any tire shop will do it for a few bucks

 

i thought of that--went to sears w/ one of the lugs that i had off. they don't have them big enough to fit over the lug. and cars not even close to be driven or even pushed. lol

 

Buy a few cheap sockets and hammer them on there.

 

thats what i didn't want to do

 

well i have the same problem and posted after you with no help from the list... so after trying the local mazda dealer with no luck i emailed mazda speed for help and they said these are mcgard locks so i did a google found them and made a call . sent my digital pic that i had taken and , received a reply in ten minutes to call with credit card # and they did have it for $14.99 ! Freakin dealer wante $40+ and didnt have a clue if they could get it. hope that helps

 

so you got a new key or what??? they dealer has a universal key. but that doesn't help me since in can't drive the car over there

 

Not yet just made contact today they will mail it tuesday so its on the way. but yours is probably a different pattern then mine . take a good digital photo and thats all they need. or just look at my thread in this section and see if it is the same as yours ,I have a pic attached to the post.

 

Ok my key is on the way. email your pic too cs4@mcgard.com #1800-444-5847 ext.2256 ask for Lora.
14.99 shipped!

 

update if it works once you get it. thanks

 

Arrived Sat. and finally got the wheels off .
