Nelson discovered this weekend that he does not have the socket to remove his 968 wheels.
Can you ID this lock? Advice on getting the key? Attached image(s)

I've used "reverse EZ outs" (sears or snap-on truck) to pull those before, not sure you have the room to get them on though....
I believe those are factory wheel locks though, maybe the stealership will have a master key? BJH |

You don't want to know... really..... Group: Members Posts: 2,514 Joined: 12-September 04 From: Newport Beach, California Member No.: 2,743 |
Is that the lock with the spinning head??????
If so...... I would drill it... for sure. If the head doesn't spin.... Either use a socket A'La'Aaron or find a buddy with the snap on removal tool.... They work like a charm. If all else fails. Weld a big ass bolt to it and turn it off....... Tape off the wheel are before welding... Or put wet rags around weld area.... Sparks pit wheels... C |
