so i went to advance auto to buy me a set of wheel locks today to put on the RDX. the end result...it DID NOT FIT! i thought wheel locks were one size fit all aren't they or does RDX need a certain size? so basically i gotta return this last one i just brought but not sure what to get afterwards....
can someone let me know if there is a size or something? also kinda a weird question but HOW do you use the tire thing in the back? not sure if i was shorted a piece to remove the tire but i have the "L" shaped one that goes on the nut and then another one that has a hook at the end. and i suppose to connect those together??

1.wheel nut size comes in M12 x 1.25 and M12 x 1.5mm diameter

Honda/Acura use M12 x 1.5mm

You probable grabbed the one for Toyota/Subaru

2. There should be an OEM jack beside your spare tire.
I will recommend you call a friend with basic car knowledge to help you out.
Seem like you never remove your rim before.

lol thx! all honesty i don't remember my integra's jack being that "different". so this is kinda a kick in the balls.

just checked the size i brought and since i can't edit i have to do another post but it is an m12-1.75...doesn't that mean its bigger?
because it screwed on just not even half way.

M12 x 1.75 is same diameter, different thread pitch. Don't try to force it, you will ruin the threads. You need the correct size.

If you are putting one lock on each wheel, you don't need to jack it at all. Just pull the lugnut and replace it. Make sure you torque it to 80 lb-ft.

ps. the manual has jack instructions.

ahh ok, thanks. guess i'll grab the 1.5 then and give it a try
