I can't find my key for the factory locking lugnut.

Is there anyway to get it off without it?
Can I get them anywhere other than a dealer?


Does anyone live in the Dayton, OH area that might let me use theirs??

No, you won't be able to get it off without damaging it. I lost mine once, and then found it the next day. :grinyes: The dealer should be able to provide you with another I would think, just show them proof of ownership.

Knowing the dealership (satan) there gonna charge you ;)

Probably, but it beats the alternative of paying for a new wheel.

New key from the dealer was 8 dollars if I remember correctly. Maybe 11. Shit, I forget. I have a bad habit of leaving the key on the last lug nut I tighten and drving away, so I've gone through half a dozen of them. ;) You can also force a strategically sized socket over it but good luck seperating them. Most tire/wheel shops have special sockets just for removing these things too.

Thanks everyone!

I called the dealer and they said it would be like $30 so I didn't want to even deal with them if at all possible. I saw on the mitsu parts site that a whole set of wheel locks would be $20+shipping.

Thankfully I work with a girl who drives a GT3000 and her key worked!

I'll post pics of my rims soon.

$30??? WTF is that shit. Seriously, even for a fuckin dealer. It's 3 ounces of metal with a design in it. Probably cost about $2 to make. I would have just walked over to one of the service techs, passed him $5, and that would be that. Done deal.

check in your hatch, in the bad with the spar tire. mine was in the black bag with the jack and tire wrench thingy. i didn't find it untill months after drilling them out...
