Anyone locally have a tool or good with getting Keys off? My key broke a few weeks back along with one of the lugs. I need to get the rim off to check out my brakes to see whats going on. Anyone that can help out I would appreciate it. I'm off today if that helps but my car is not driveable My rear brake caliper is seized or something is wrong with it.

Thank you

All good. My Tech that does most of my stuff just stopped over and had all 4 off in a few minutes. Having the right tools makes it easy. Funny thing is seeing this just showed me how easy it is for someone to take your rims.

Now I just have to figure out what's up with my rear brakes and if I can fix it to drive it until I get something else.

I had to have mine torqued off with some special Snap-On lock remover. It looked like a socket but the inside was a reversed thread.

Just bring it to the dealership and they'll get it off... somehow.

**** happened to me with Acura locks... key snapped off because I overtorqued the lock nut,

my car is not driveable but we fixed it. I had 5 keys on the one rim:P I let another member borrow my oem lugs so he could drive home and we had to get off the broken key along with the other 4. Its all good now...

The keys are kind of weak. This had happened to my Is300 a few months ago. I called McGard (theyre McGard wheel locks) and they wanted me to fax or email them a digital picture of my wheel lock so they could send me out a replacement key. Meanwhile, the car was out of commission. I wound up having it towed to the tire place and they got it off in no time. Subsequently, I removed all of the wheel locks. I dont think any one wants my curb rashed 10 year old stock rims anyway.
