Hello all
When I purchased my 98 Camaro I found out that it was missing the lugnut key, meaning I can't take the tires off or even put a spare on because I can't unlock the wheels. I talked to GM and they're talking about an ATLEAST $100 job to break the locks and replace the lugnuts. I searched for a key but I don't know what it is and the factory sheet that supposedly stated it, was also missing.

Any suggestions on a way to get a lugnut key? or a cheaper way to replace the lugnuts? This is annoying. If a crook really wanted my tire's he could ****** them, while I can't even change a flat!

 

Here's a link on a couple of ways to get them off. This is actually fairly common.

 

If you have the factory locks still, GM is lying to you, because they have a master key that will take them off. IF you need a key you can order them through GM, at least i could. You could also take you car to a normal shop like a firestone and they'll take the locks off by pounding a socket on them. They will most liklely charge you for the socket(s) and maybe a few bucks for labor.

 

Okay, I'll take my car back to GM and ask about the master key and see if they can get me a key made. It's ashame they didn't put the key code in a better place like taped inside the glove compartment... If a crook has access to that space he can basicly drive your car off and have the wheels taken off at home!!!

Thanks for the inconvience GM!
Thanks for helping all...

 

same thing hapened to me, had the local tire shop take them off

 

if you want I have new lugnuts I am willing to sell if you just want ot not have wheel locks on your car.
