so im in need of getting some new tires for my car
the sidewalls are rotting for some reason
but i lost the key for my wheel locks
anyone have any tips? dealership didnt have anything for me

 

Never heard of a Camaro having wheel locks =\

 

If there's no way of getting a copy, then an air chisel would be my next attempt. Make sure it has a good edge on it. Catch it in one of the teeth of the lug nut and aim it in the direction of spinning it counter-clockwise. It should spin it right off. You may also be able to do it with a hand chisel and hammer, but air will be a lot easier. That's also a good trick for getting off nuts or bolts with a rounded-out head.

 

Take the above advice on lock removal and in the future forget about wheel locks. They only cause problems for you and notany thief who wants your wheels..

 

Thereare special sockets available (Auto Zone has them at times) with tapered and hardened internal left handed threads. Put the socket over the wheel lock and using an impact wrench (spin it counter clockwise) it will screw itself on to the wheel lock and at the same time unscrew the wheel lock from the stud. (Don't need no stinking wheel lock key. LOL)

 

I actually am having this same problem on the Z06. Didn't get the key to the locks and they are not factory.

 

Easyest way is get a old socket that is a size smaller or almost exzact then take a hammer and bang it on there. and take a impact rench and it will come off but make sure it doesnt slip otherwise u might be screwed.
i had to do it on my 89 and after i did it i found this little card in the owners manuel and all i hadda do is mail it in to get a copy lol.
