Hi,

Had my Honda Civic Se (5 Door Hatchback) serviced the other day and they noticed my locking wheel nut key is missing.

I found used one online, is it safe to use a used one? Or would it be best to buy a brand new one, cos they are quite pricey.

Any advice would be helpful

Thanks

 

Well, most wheel locks are superfluous as you can just hammer a socket on most of them. It's just an illusion of safety. That being said, unless they're local I think you'll be ok.

Also, the auto parts store has basic wheel lock sets starting around $40. Or, if you don't want to do it yourself, you can get a set at Discount Tire and they can mount them for you for about the same price.

 

have someone weld a regular lugnut on to it to remove it.

 

I have found a few locking locking nuts on Ebay and they are compatible with Honda Civic 2005 MK VII [2000-2005] Hatchback. I'm not 100% sure which version my Honda Civic is? How do I find this out?

 

If it's an original one, the dealer has a master set of keys.
