Default Lost my wheel lock key

Hey,

I just received my 02 WS6, and upon trying to remove the wheels, I can't find the wheel lock anywhere. And I can't contact the previous owner to get it back. He kept the tonneau cover, shift ****, and cd changer magazine.

Anyway, how can I get the locks off without wrecking the lock or the wheel? Can GM get me a new key?

Use a big vice grip. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> I've used this before. Good luck <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />

You'll ruin the lock but you have to find a socket to go on there. If it's on tight, you'll probably need to get a socket that won't quite go on, and drive it on with a hammer. I've done it a couple times.

gm only makes like 7 different ones, they are color coded, look on your lock nut, it should have a dab of paint, the color is the code, goto the local dealer and they can get you the correct one by color
