Lost wheel lock + cannot drive to dealer.. help
Car is currently sitting on jackstands. In order to get back on the road i need to take off the wheel to fix the brake pipe because i broke it. But I lost the OEM wheel lock. So i cannot show the dealer which wheel lock my car has...
Will the dealer know which wheel lock i have?

Dealer will not know what lock you have. Check your manual for a little card with the number on it. If no card you could try pounding a socket onto the locking bolt. It may grip just enough to loosen it.

OP - you can find a 12 point socket that's closest in size and hammer it over the wheel lock and remove that way.

When I bought my car, the wheel lock was missing. I went to the local dealer and they had several there and just gave them to me and I went out and matched the right one to my car.
FWIW, I ordered 2. |
