I dont have a security lug socket w/my car. Where can I pick one up?

 

Are you saying you have a set on the car and no key?

If you have a set without the key, you will probably need some "ghetto" way of getting them off. The keys are different and have a number you need in order to get a replacement one made.

 

what does the security lug look like? can anyone take a pic? Im pretty sure I have one.

 

I'm sure SLP sells them. But, I think they sell them in a kit with the four other bolts that go on each wheel. If anyone knows where to get just the 4 secuity bolts + the "key," I'd appreciate it. Mine have seen better days...

 

I got rid of my four wheel locks and replaced them with regular lugs. The wheel key strips after about 3 tire changes.

 

Step #1: Find socket slightly smaller than security lug.
Step #2: Attach to lug with large hammer blow.
Step #3: Remove security lug by turning counter clockwise.
Step #4: Replace with regular lug nut.
Step #4: Open beer and swallow contents.

 

Remove the plastic lug covers. 4 lugs a hex (6 sided nuts). One is round with notches around the outer outside. You can't miss it. You can buy a set at www.lmperformance.com or a dealer. The do strip after a while, so make sure the key is on straight.

 

GM sells just the security lug nuts and the key. I believe it was around $20. Could probably get it even cheaper if you call up the dealer and get the part number then buy them off of gmpartsdirect.com.

 

Cool...thanks!

 

A friend of mine has a set of gorilla lugs on his truck. He lost the key and sent the key ID number in to them with $ and his address. They then sent him a key in the mail. I also have a set on mine (I dont know if they are factory or not because I bought the car used but they were on it when I bought it) the name of the company is Amcor. There was a card in the glove box with all the waranty information, window sticker, etc. The card says you can send in a $10 check or money order to them. If you have an ID card somewhere you should be able to contact the company and get a replacement if not. . .

 

I've got 3 sets that I'm not using.
A real thief is going to get your wheels anyway.
