I'd advise that you put sonr rags or somthing around your rim where you are swinging the hammer so you dont miss and damage your wheel. Good luch.

It cost me $20 for taking it off and $30 for the new set.

Living life thru chemistry..........or did you look in
the glovebox for the key?

Since I couldn't find the package and didn't want to wait a week for the new locks to come in, I just had them remove the locks from my car with a master, and bought new ones.

I wont lose thes new ones!

are you talking about the adaptor key that lets you take the special lugnuts off? you can just buy one at the dealership. no big deal.
