i received the wheel lock keys from the acura dealer for about 20 bux and i didn't ask how you use it. how exactly am i suppose to use this to unlock the wheels? Do i need a separate tool to attach it to so i could apply enough torque to the key?

Im just asking so that in the even that i get a flat tire that I could be able to take it off and put on the spare.

 

lol, yes.

one end goes to the wheel lock, and the other you put the lug wrench on.

if you coulnd't have figured this out on your own when the time came you don't deserve this car.

 

Yumm..

 

Yumm..

 

No offence....but please tell me you were kidding.

 

One thing I like to do when I get a new car is to pull the spare and jack out in my driveway to make sure I know what to do if I need to change flat on the side of the road in the dark...

Doing this in your driveway on your own terms is great practice. It's like a nascar pit crew practicing for a race. I've had to change 2 flats on the my CLS (potholes and curbs own me), and I can do it pretty quickly now.

 

is this thread serious?

 

LMFAO :rotf:

 

LMFAO

 

well i've never had to change a flat, and the thought about it just occued to me

 

Here's another thing that confused me for a little bit. The jack in the cls is held in place tightly so it doesn't rattle. You have to crank it down a little bit before you can pull it out of the storage area. I was scratching my head about that for a couple of minutes

Pull the jack out and and jack up the cls. You don't have to undo the lugs, but it's a good idea to familarize your self with changing a tire on your own terms instead of having to learn on the side of the road somewhere

 

I do that for every car I buy just so I know that everything works.

 

Last flat I had to change was when I had busted up my ankle last july. I changed the flat in under 15 minutes AND I was on crutches. It must have been pretty funny to see me hobbling around on crutches on the side of the road.

 

People were probably wondering if it was you that broke down, or the car...

 

I want to know how you drove the car with your ankle.

Don't crank the jack too much, I added some threads to mine at one point because I was just turning the handle more and more.

 

Personal best was about 10 minutes. It was fawking cold outside.

Same here. Always good to know.

 

It was my clutch foot - left ankle (severe sprain and ligament tears) and I drive a 6spd

I had to take a week off of work, and was on crutches for about a month. I laugh at people who say they can't own a manual transmission car because they have to drive in traffic. I drove thru stop and go traffic both ways to work, and while it wasn't easy, it was do-able (I guess I have a high tolerance to pain). Commute home was probably worst traffic wise, but I had perocet waiting for me there :blaze:
