Wheel lock pattern busted...anyone have the same lock? What to do?
 

I was switching my wheels to summers today and while tightening the wheel locknut, I damage the wheel lock itself (overtightened i guess).

Now I cant remove any of the other wheel locknuts. Below is a picture of the pattern I have, pretty sure it was one of the OEM Nissan sets but it came with the car when I got it back in 2007. Its a flower pattern with four sides.

If no one has one and the dealer doesnt stock this anymore, any ideas on how to get them off?

A shop can just hammer in a different bolt and take them off but you will need different lugs after

last time i was at willowdale infiniti they had sets stocked in their little parts dept display case

looks exactly like what came on my '06

I used 12 spline deep sockets to get mine off. Just have to size them right, I think I used 19mm but cant quite remember. Pounded them over the lock nuts and off they turned.

this happened to me a few mths ago while changing my tires.
google McGard, tell them you need to order a new lug nut key lock for a g35, read the manual for the key lock part number and they will ship one to you in a week or so for around 20$.

youre welcome!!

oh and they can also give you 1 lug nut as well, as opposed to calling the dealerships which sell you a set of 20.

That spacer looks great :P

Like Jamal said, the shop shouldn't have any trouble getting it off.

I'd prefer to just get a key instead of breaking the old one off and buying new lock nuts. From what I understand there was more than one key for the G, my friend had the 6 sided pattern...jdoublec did u have the same pattern as mine? I'm open to going to the dealer to avoidfurther hassell and waiting.

all dealers have a master set of lug keys. I think there was 6 different ones

when it happened to me i called a few dealerships, they quoted me 200+ to drill and take out the nut. and gave me excuses such as "every key is different" to make me pay the 200$.

just google mcgard (the company that makes the stock lugs/keys) and call them to order 1 new key and nut. it costs 20 some odd dollars for both.

i had the same key you had. there should be a part number for the key with your car manual.

Got it off at the dealer with the master key...thanks for your help guys!

Yeah spacers are awesome! Thanks bud :)
