Wheel Locks
Hola,
Sorry for the generic title. I have an 88 FC 5 Lug NA and I was in the process of removing the wheels when I got to the front wheel locks. I guess the person that owned the car before me didn't put the key in the car, so I am looking for alternate ways to remove it. This is a beater car, so I don't mind have to use some force, I would still like to know of the best ways to apply it though if need be. Maybe I should just take a clay impression of it down to the local pepboys or where ever these junk pieces came from and try for a match. I have a complete set of nuts, and locks for the other wheels I have to put on this car, so nothing will be missed.
Thanks in advance,
Adrian

you can usually bring it to a wheel shop, pepboys, etc...and they can remove it. See the link.
