well its seems my tire spun off my wheel and now i have not choice to remove the wheels which would be easy but i have lost my wheel lock. does anybody know how to get it taken care of either pull the lug nut off there can't be much more than 70 ft/lbs on it so shouldn't be hard with a wrench i was thinking also how does honda do it do u have to bring in your vin and everything and can they make it right away or do u have to order it? any help please

 

they seel a wheel lock removal kit.. or go to a local shop they will do it for a few bucks!!

 

best bet is to give local honda a call. Just wrenching them off could be bad.

 

hmm the honda dealer is like 60 miles away .... **** i really wish i could find that stupid socket

 

well that happen too me one time and when i ask what to do on honda tech everybody accused me of being a theif but u can call a honda dealer and tell them your vin number and they'll send you a new one.

 

The best way is to not lose the key..

 

Yeah..and how about we don't turn this into a theifs wet dream and give away how to get off wheel locks.

 

Pound a 20mm socket onto the wheel lock with a hammer. Then insert wratchet and turn.

Thats what I did with a junkyard Si to get the wheel locks off.

Never thought of it that way. Im deleting my post

 

Some shops have special keys that will "bite" into it to remove the locks. Or you could try the above trick of pounding a socket in.

Why do people make run-on sentences like that? WHY? I hope you didn't write essays like that in school...It's annoying as ****!!

Anyway...there's ways to get wheel-locks off without the "key," ways which I don't know anything about. But..yeah..thiefs are probably reading these posts right now. So...just..IMHO..if you have a solution for this guy..maybe we should PM him instead of posting it here for everyone and their grammas to see..

 

They make special sockets to get lug nuts off like that. Check out your local car shop.
err actually... This is what you need.

i went to a local shop and a mechanic had snap-on's wheel lock removal tool...it took 2 minutes

 

Tire Kingdom will take them off for $5 a wheel. I had that happen to me. They ended up using an air chisle to do the job.

 

yep air chiseled them off before, but i hit the stud, ended up replacing that too

 

well i got it taken care of so its ok now. no more freakin wheel locks for me. they used a kit but he said 90% of the time that doesnt work. now im gonna get a set of new lugs. thanx for ne help.


oh btw what does everybody think of having wheels locks. if you dont like em what do u use?
