Another 993 wheel lock question.
On the 993 wheel locks that require a special socket, I have all the locks, the PO put a non locking lug nut on all the wheels to replace the special one.
I found all the special locking lug nuts in the boot. I believe he must not have had the special socket, can anyone tell me where/what number do I look for to replace the socket? Can I just take one of them in to the dealership? Thanks

I just bought a set from the dealer. The locking lug nuts and special socket cost about $40.

You can order the socket from Porsche, but they need to have either the car or wheel nut. As JHC did it's easier to remove the old ones and buy new. You only get ONE new socket so you can order a spare at the time you buy the lock set.

Thanks for the info, sounds like a inexpensive fix to just buy new ones..
