i just got my 05 tsx and didnt notice after a few week that they didnt give me the wheel lock. when i went back they said they cant remove it for me. i went to firestone and ask if they can take it off for me and they said its $120/hr labor and it might take more than 1 hr. i dnt know what kind of wheel lock it is but the teeth are on the inside.

An Acura dealer may have a master key. Otherwise it will have to be cut off and once you get to that point you might as well cut them all off for obvious reasons.

they said they didnt make those wheel lock so they wont have key for it. do u know how it is to cut it off?

get a socket thats a little smaller than the lug nut lock..hammer it in so it'll carve into the socket. and use a wrench socket thing and a cheater bar and there you go... kinda hard to explain

Can you post a pic of the lug?

Could you use something like this to remove it?

Several dealerships have taken off my wheels, that had locks on them, without me providing the "key" for it. Try a honda dealership if acura doesn't want to.

If it's the OEM locks they're able to remove it. Go back there and make them remove it since it's their f up to not provide you the key, even though you should have checked for it. Posting a pic would be best for us to help you out and see what specific lock it could be.

I ran into this problem a couple weeks ago, when i was changing my clutch.First i heated up the lugnut with heat and then I used a deep well socket, slightly smaller, and hammered that sucker on and it came right off. THE KEY IS USING HEAT or else it prob. wont come off. PS this also burns your rim...so good luck.
