Hi all

I'll preface this by saying that it is likely a very easy and elementary question, but I want to cover my bases since I don't have mechanical experience with cars.

I recently purchased wheel locks (the OEM ones) after seeing a picture of a friends TL sitting entirely on the pavement with no wheels. I would like to install them myself. Is there really anything more to it than using the tire iron for the spare tire to remove a lug and put the locks on? Anything I should be aware of or be careful for?

TIA

 

Nope. You just unscrew one lug nut from each tire and then use the key that came with the locks to tighten the locks with the tire iron as normal. Takes 10 minutes. Just make sure you tighten the locks adequately.

 

Do not loose your lock key

 

Great. Sounds easy enough

I plan on leaving it in the glove box so no worries about that!

 

Not a good idea to leave in the glove box-I have mine in the trunk in the bag of tools (for changing the flat)I have the bag hidden in the space tire.
