hey guys im currently selling my volks to a member on the forum and when the shop put my wheels on i never got the lugnut key back, unfortunately they dont have the key anymore...

Does anyone have experience getting them off without the rays lug nut key? Please helpp

 

Bring it to a shop?

 

Please help Nick guys...and me too...cause my car is on jackstands without wheels ...and I have an event to attend this Sunday (Toys for children Holiday charity car show)

 

call around to different tire shops or better yet get the shop that lost the key to fix it for u

 

i would but alvin needs the wheels asap. the shop is about hour and a half away and work owns me.

 

Find a socket that is just a little too small for it,grind down the outside of the socket so it wont mess up the wheel when it slides in and beat it on with a hammer than just back the lock off. Had to do it many many times when I worked at a tire shop.

 

Just buy any rays socket and file down the center groove.. that way you can remove all rays locks....

 

Even though it does you no good, I have a wheel lock removal kit.

Most tire shops have em. I would never trust anyone else to remove a lock of my car though. Especially if they were my Volks.

 

seen this done, and works. Just becareful with the rim with the gun

 

i dont have a gun only a good ol' ratchet set. im afraid to bring it anywhere as i dont want them to scratch the rim.. ill see what tomorrow brings hope fully i can do it

 

It will work fine if you want to be extra careful wrap the socket with masking tape

 

you're screwed if you don't want to bring an impact. Wheel lock keys are different, going to a shop is your only bet. As long as the person is not a retarded it's not hard to do. Just like the other guy said, find a socket size that when wedged will slip squeeze onto the wheel lock. Just protect the rim as best you can. and tip well

 

Tape up the whole center of the wheels around the lugs area bro. Sigh this is such a pain in the ***!

 

PM'd, i have a solution that involves no ghetto **** to the rims or lugs.

 

When you get a chance go back to the shop that installed them and whip someones A$$!!!
