Most tire shops have a tool that will take them out.

pm loudsubz.. i think in his sig. it says to msg him, he can help.

^ ditto


you can also use a 21 or 22 mm socket and hammer on the wheels locks and get it off

Yup pm loudsubz, forgot about him.

u can buy the tool @ princess auto.. i got mine for less then $15

imported_andyhoiho

that's mean the wheel lock is useless....

imported_hdave

^kinda
but it takes time to get the lock off and itll make a little more noise too

but then again im sure theres people who can do it really fast and quietly so WATCH YOUR RIMS!!!

If you do it at the shop, it is usually 10 dollars per wheel. If you buy 4 larger size sockets, hammer it on and then take it off, it might be close to that price, but each socket is pretty much useless after that as well.

Or go to Honda, and get a master key (I have tried, and they couldn't match one, but still worth a try at some other dealerships, say Parkway)

im so screwed, i have american racing rims on and theholes for the bolts are so deep, meaning i cant slap a socket on and try it. Im not really to worried about the rims so i was thinking of heating them up, then a buddie of mine told me loosen all my lugs and drive until the wheel lock on loosens, sounds pretty dangerous to me, but would that work?

dont listen to ur buddy, that sounds dumb
im sure there r better ways to get it off

Nova_Dust

Drill it out, if that sounds ok to do. But never do what your friend told you. It is just a wheel, not worth your life.

sorry to tell you, your buddy is a tool.
thats the worst suggestion ive every heard.
really...it is.

imported_eurojrak

wow ....brutal suggestion..a good shop will do it for u...they come up with the craziest and easiest things sometimes..go to a shop and get it done properly..gotta pay for ur loss

imported_WyseGuy

what kind of wheel locks are they? i know honda keeps master keys for wheel locks.

you can also get a large socket and hammer it in then torque it out.
