Wheel lock question.

Post by 2k1MotorSport » Mon Apr 07, 2008 3:54 pm

an 00-01 ES showed up in the junk yard yesterday, LOADED with options. Leather Wheel, Leather Shifter, Fogs, Chrome Handles, Cup holder light and ..... rear disk brake setup! But, all 4 wheels (which are nice condition snowflakes) have wheel locks on them. No keys are included anywhere in this car. Is there a way to get the locks off so I can (maybe) get the wheels and get the rear brake setup?

Also, what all would I have to grab for the brake conversion?

Go to your local auto parts store and look for a lug nut remover. It will look like a socket. but on the inside are threads that cut into the lug nut when you turn it.

its easier to use an impact but i would thing that a 1/2" ratchet or breaker bar would work.

my only question is, why do you want the rear disc setup? you have an R/T.

the j-yard might have a handy set of locking lug keys. My local yard has like 200+ different keys.
