Wheel lock or key help

[jonyellow911]

Hey just picked up a new 77 911. The dumb nuts I bought it from didn’t send me the wheel lock and can’t find it. Can’t seem to find one online at all. Any tips?

Do a search "wheel locks".
It might be "Dremel time chisel time".

I have a set somewhere.

Dealership may have a master set and could remove themand I have seen a removal socket at autozone that may work to remove them

really the only person those are stopping from removing your wheels is you, a thief is likely to take the whole car

Their are reversed helic tools available that you will need to use with an impact driver. No mater, will be a pain in the ass. Bob

Thanks Ivan, by pipe drill bit do you mean hole saw?

[proporsche]

yes that is the one;-) i have done it plenty of times.

Measure how deep you want to go on an empty stud place ...do it while the wheel is in the air and all other lug nuts of once you feel you are depp enough use the wheel sideways...all this if it is a rear wheel ,with hand brake on...if front also lift but not much so your wheel does not spin..in the end,you can even use a tiny chisel but be careful

Search the forum, this comes up all the time. You need to be careful and do the right thing or you risk you wheels.

Is that a steel mcgard locking wheel nut?

[techman1]

Sacrifice a socket. Had to do it on my daughter’s Mini Cooper. Use a socket that is a little too small. Hammer it on and take off with a breaker bar. Doubted my neighbor but it worked.

I see the space is tight hopefully enough room.

They sell wheel lock removing sockets at autozone. Or as said just hammer a socket on it,
