My wheels are stuck!

SCobraVT99 · 08-30-2007, 05:45 PM

So I am the idiot that bought locking lug nuts. I dont wanan be flamed, i know how stupid of an idea it was, but i needed them quick, and its allt he gas station had ironically. Damn those "hill billy marts"

I need to have my brakes done this weekend, and im having a buddy do it. I need to know how I can get my wheels off the car without the key to the locking lug nuts. Can anyone do this for me easily, without killing my rims?

I think that any of the parts stores sell a locking lug removal kit.Its real easy to use...you would just need to be careful so you don't mess up your wheels...

Depending on the place,they may charge anywhere from 1/2 hour to 1 hour,and what ever they charge per hour...oh and just for anybody to be aware,the lug keys should never be used with an impact.Thats how they break.Ancira chevrolet technician did that when they were looking at my wifes car....

y2kGT · 08-30-2007, 06:04 PM

they don't charge per hour...but yea they can take them off..dependin on who you talk to is how much it is...usually 5$ a wheel...if you live by channelview lmk ill hook u up!

superGT2000 · 08-30-2007, 06:37 PM

that sounds about right...i have to remove the lock from 3 wheels and it was about 15 bucks...

SCobraVT99 · 08-30-2007, 07:10 PM
