Lost wheel lock key

Post by nos4blood70 »

Penny has had the GM accessory wheel locks installed since new. I seem to have lost the key using my infinite wisdom... Am I basically screwed or is there a way to get the lock nut out of there?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Discount tire will break it off for a charge. You can try to find another set with the same key but there are so many it won't be easy.

I would bring it to a gm dealer. If it was put on as a factory accessory then they will probably have a key for it. Or you can use rounded nut extractor sockets.

Sorry man, even the GM accessory tool that I have looks nothing like that. Looks kinda old school.

No worries.

I'll figure something out. Will stop by the dealer and see what they say.

If it helps visualize, since that picture I posted may look weird, this is what they looked like:
