Well I'm sure most have been thru this but this week is killing me!! One thing after another. CV joints popping out then sort of going back in, then squeaking from one wheel. Then wheel lock stripping on other side of the car.

Anyways cant put on my Konis becuase my wheel lock is stripped. I ordered a new key from dorman but the lug nut is what is stripped. One side is done but the other is not.

Does anyone know someone local to orange county that can SAFELY (dont want to damage my million dollar rota wheels) remove wheel locks.
I've tried wd 40 a vice grip and everything

Thanks in advance

 

dang that sucks dude good luck with that i dont have a answer for u bump for some help though

 

hammer in a socket( one that is abit smaller than the lug nut) and remove it with a breaker bar and then use a new lug nut.

 

That is the safest way. Just have a friend hold the socket so your fingers are in good shape so you can slap him if you miss and hit the wheel. hehe jk.

 

or get some JB weld and put it into the socket and let it cure onto the lug and your good.

 

bump for help. i'm having this problem too

 

thanks guys

I did what you said hammered in a socket 12 point the yelled a bunch of profanities an done!!!!

dont forget the profanities, it adds an extra oomph

 

I tend to give out a loud bellowing "heeyaaahhhhuu" just like Arnold. It makes the lug nut feel overpowered and it just gives up. They are immune to Chuck Norris so Arnold is the next best thing.
