I broke the lock of my wheel lock set, so i need to borrow one from any member to take it off. I live in Rancho cucamonga, CA, 91701. Thanks.

 

yeah, you can borrow mine but I'm in CT...

 

Your probably gonna need to buy a new set, unless you want to borrow one from someone here or the dealer everytime. It's gonna be a hassle to do unless you have your own one.

 

wait, are all of the wheel lock keys the same? I thought they were unique to the set. Silly me!

 

no your right, I'm guessing he's hoping someone has the same one as he does.

 

Holy crap! I live in RC at Day Creek and Foothill for the last year until a few weeks ago. Sorry though, I have aftermarket rims.

 

I think there are only 3 or 4 different ones.

 

There's an easy way to fix this... Grab a socket that just fits around the lock.. maybe a 20MM or 22MM depending on your lock size and shape..

Get one that fits.. Use a big 3 pound mallot hammer.

Pound it on the wheel lock

It's recommended you use an air gun because it makes it very easy to zip off.

If not use a long pry bar and gradually build pressure to loosen. If all goes well they will come off... Now here's the kicker..

To get the wheel lock off the socket.. You will need to lock the socket in a vice of some sort. Use a punch and the same mallot.. You run the punch in the middle of the socket and use the mallot and hit it hard. VERY HARD. It will drop out of the socket and you get to do it 3 more times.. Enjoy!

 

This has happened to me, too. The dealerships always have the keys to all of their wheel locks. Go and have them match it up for you. Once you find it, you can just pay for the lock. They should sell it to you separately.

 

They dont sell the lock separately, they sell the whole set and it costs $50.00.

 

i agree with 04WDPSeDaN. shit happened to me when i was about to change my brakes. i was freaking pissed. beat that socket in and take them off if you dont find that key

 

take it to the dealer, they will break it off and replace the set for you since it is an OEM accessory that should be covered under the factory warranty.

 

Not to me...I bought ONLY the lock, which they had multiple copies of, from behind the parts counter.

 

This is OT, but you really live and Rancho Cucamonga? That wasn't a made up place from the movie "Next Friday"? That's awesome!

Mail man: "Nice house, I didn't expect to see you answer, but nice house...are you one of those entertainers or something?"

Craig: "Yeah, I play for the Cucamonga Cracka Killas..."

Ok...sorry, back to the topic...

Try the stealership, a friend of mine was able to buy a Toyota wheel look wrench at the stealership after leaving his on the side of the road. I'd have to imagine Acura would do it too. Give them a ring or stop by, it's the only way you'll ever know...

 

^ each dealer has a set of the wheel lock keys - there's only like...what 6 possible different "color" wheel lock keys. i have white...u?

 

That or any garage, they have special sockets that have like splines/teeth on them they are also thicker so they wont split like a regular one might if you hammer it over the lug.

 

now someone can steal your wheels

 

Definitely roll over to the dealership...

 

Bro, trust me.. Get a socket, hit it on with a hammer and take them off yourself. Nobody is really out to steal stock rims. Just my 2 cents.

 

buy a new set

then go to the dealer remove the old ones

install new set

good luck
