i am trying to take off the factory gta wheels to sell to a fellow member and i ran into a problem. on each wheel 1 of the 5 lugs is like a wheel lock lugnut. i dont think i have the right tool to remove it. i looked in the rear well and there was no kind of special key for it . does anyone have a suggestion for me to get these lugnuts off. i need help asap.

thanks, Brad

 

I have heard of two ways to get those locking lugs off, here are the options

# 1 look for a little sticker somewhere on your car that does not belong, it will have a series of numbers, or a combination, and probably a tel # you would have to call the company and have them send you an extra set.

# 2 I dont know if youve ever seen that commercial for the "gator grip" on tv, but its basically a socket with a bunch of pins in it, anyway when pushed down on a bolt, a screw, or in your case a lug, it will conform to the shape of the bolt, then turn really hard and you should get them loose. Thats how alot of thieves these days are stealing wheels reguardless of wheel locks.

Well anyway thats about all i have,

Im out good luck

 

well, thanks for the help. after sitting and using my head a little i back tracked and ended up findong the key. so they are finally off now.
