This really sucks....

I was having so much fun last weekend painting the calipers and decided to take the wheels off again today to clean them. Not sure what I did but I broke the wheel lock socket. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement? I need it asap to put the wheels back and can't afford to wait a few days. Do you think the stealership sells it? I just need the socket.

There was a thread on this just a few days ago. If you have the bag it came in with the part number then you will know which of the thirty-some different locks you need. The dealers also should have all the different locks so you can at least put the wheels back on until you order one.

Send a message via AIM to blinkwatt
Call McGard.

They will have you take a picture of your locking wheel bolt. They will find the pattern and send you the bolt key for $25ish shipped.

Thanks Blinkwatt. I called McGard and sent them a picture of the lock yesterday. They called and said they need close up pictures of both the bolts and the lock. Does anyone has a close up picture of the same wheel lock that you can send me? I would take the picture myself but I am in Vegas and won't be home until next week. Thanks in advance!
