I'm thinking I need some help. I have an 06 tC. I started installing my Tein S Tech springs today. I finished with the front and was getting ready to remove my rear wheels when my lug nut lock key breaks and takes half of my lug nut lock as well. I'm pretty much screwed. No tC person in my town has lug nut locks on their car. So I called my Toyota dealership, and they are trying to get me to buy a new set of lug nut locks with a key. To be honest, I just want regular lug nuts instead of the locks. Does anyone know how I can remove my lug nut locks from the rest of the wheels without having the key? I spent 5 hours trying to find another lug nut lock key, and just trying in general to get those lug nut locks off. I'm completely frustrated right now. My car is now lowered in the front and stock height in the rear. Looks pretty unusual and I scrape everywhere. I'd appreciate any advice.

Thanks.

Take it to a shop and have them break them off.

Give this a shot, there are videos all over youtube on how to do it. This seems the most fairly easy on if you have the parts.

I agree with Caprice0083! you can do it yourself since it is fairly easy! you just need to prepare everything you want to fix it..
I highly recommend the video above..

Go to a bad city like philly, camden, baltimore.. those ***** would get your wheels off and have that car on cinders faster than you could blink lol.

Wheel likes are a pain, but I wouldnt run without them.

Also Miranda, just go to a rim shop. Like a REAL rim shop. I would bet my life they can get your locks off for you no prob. I would let a pro do it, rather than ruining/gouging your rims out (if they are in good condition). You dont want to let someone do it who has not done it before.

Would you believe this very same thing happened to me with changing a flat tire over the weekend (weak ___ Toyota wheel lock key). Borrowed a set of the removers from a friend of mine and got it off without gouging the rim. You have to take your time hammering the remover in and once the remover bites in, you turn hard but slowly. Now just need to get the other 3 off and buy a new set of locks from a tire shop but not sure if I want to spend 35 bucks for them!

Whoops, glad they blanked the word! ;-)

Thanks for the help! I did take it to a service shop and they were able to remove them all. Now I need to just get 4 more normal lug nuts instead of the lug nut locks. I don't want to go through that mess again.
