Default Help: Lost Wheel Lock Key

I need to find a lug nut key for my '90 Coupe. The lock wrench registratiion card is not available. I found the wheel locking kit plastic bag and instruction sheet. The number in red on the outside of the package is 10080893 and the part # listed on the instruction sheet is 10080894. Are these the #s I need to get a replacement and where should I go? Thanks for the help.

Moose, I just pulled the card for the locks on my 93. There is a 7 diget number on the card which is the lock ID number. The card states to mail it to AMCOR Wheel Locks 12955 Inkster, Livones Mi 48150 with $10 No phone, they may have a web site. Hope this helps Just found these http://www.amcorlocks.com/order.htm or http://www.amcorlocks.com/default.htm

If worst case you can grab a socket that you dont care about thats alittle bigger than lock and bang it on to remove lock.

Ive had to do that in the past on my Z28 that had Iroc wheels.

Good luck

If they are the factory locks you might stop by a Chevy dealer. I've found that most of them have a set on hand for use in the shop.

I went in, asked the parts guy and explained what I needed to do. He handed me the box and said bring them back when you're done.

I removed the lock lug from each wheel in the parking lot outside the service bay and replaced them with a regular lug nut. Walked back in and told him thanks.

He said no problem.
