Wheel lock busted

ooshnoo · 08-15-2017, 05:15 PM

Tried to remove my wheel locks today, and it appears the dip shit at the dealer used an impact wrench.

Therefore they will not come off, and one of the heads twisted off.

Anyone been in this predicament before?

Take it back to the dealer, they probably have a specialized tool for that

Whatever you do, don't do what this guy did.

Any tire place can get those off. The dealership should be responsible for it and should be your first stop.

McGard sent me free kit with cobalt drill bits. Was able to drill them but out in an hour.

They do, I have been down this road before. Impact gun + wheel lock = big headache.
