Wheel lock socket lost — I could post in several forums...but...

..a lot of the models use the same locks. I hated them from day one but never did anything about it until 4 years ago. Yes, 4 years ago I ordered 4 standard wheel bolts for the wife's 986. It's raining and a slow day so I think after all this time maybe change those out.

Fock! The last assXXXX that did anything to the wheels obviously thought he'd have his fun and not put the GD thing back in the spare tire cover. I have no idea how long that was but could have been when I put some new Pirelli shoes on. That was a while back. For various reasons, the Box has had only a few hundred miles on it for quite some time. Talking years now. It stands at 60,xxx and I remember that mileage about 5 years ago. You know I don't drive it. But I digress.

So what's the cheap hack? I've seen some removal devices and the prices range. I know I could drill them and I have a big Easy Out... but that's a couple hours and I just don't feel like it.

Advice?
