only thing i know to do is find a socket of similiar size and beat it down over the locking lug nut with a hammer and then use a wrench to get it off. You will ruin the socket but you have a better chance at that then getting a company to send you a new key. Hope you got proof of ownership with you, you will probably attract some attenting beating a socket with a hammer on 4 or 5 wheels

 

1. Contact prior owner or dealer. If dealer, let them hassle with it. If owner, ask him for it.

2. Contact wheel lock manufacturer with the VIN number of the vehicle. If the wheel lock purchaser registered the purchase (foolish if he didn't), then they may provide you a lock. If they say no, it's only a phone call or e-mail lost.

3. Contact a local mechanic who changes wheels. He may have the special tools to remove locks without the key.

4. Purchase a set of tools yourself. $35 (U.S.) at this website:

my jeep dealership I use for service has tools to remove them.

I know that if I dont leave the wheel lock key in the cupholder theyll still manage to rotate my wheels or whatever without ever touching the lock key.

 

Pep Boys by me sells a socket to take them off. It only costs like $15 and works well. Don't ask me how I know this....

 

Most tire shops have tool kit to get them off. It is tapered and you hammer it over the outside of the lock and use an impact wrench to remove them.

 

yeah, my tire shop has a set of old crapppy sockets they use for these... I'd not worry about it and just take it to a reliable tire shop

 

Its probably one of the many stolen Jeeps from So Cal. I dont know of anyone who puts those on prior to sale.

 

I believe it was an option for the '07s to have them. They were on mine and they rolled it off the truck the night before.

I took them off hoping someone would steal them. I was hoping to use the "Now I have to get new wheels and tires, Darling." Too many honest folks in VA I guess, I haven't gotten to use it yet.

Oh yeah, vice grips work wonders!!!

 

My local dealer do not special tools to remove them I will try with tire shop mechanics..wish me good luck and thatks for help
