Help! Lost the factory wheel lock and can't get the wheels off of my '95. Does anybody have any ideas. Have to get the wheels off to work on the car. Thanks.

 

Dealers and major repair shops have the key sets to the locks. Call around first just to make sure....tire places, too.

 

Stopped at the local chev. dealer and he said that they did not have one and it is not available.

 

Check with the "Midnight Auto Supply", they'll have one!

 

Once again, the dealers come through for the customer......

Sorry to hear about that; there goes one suggestion. Try the tire stores.

 

19/20mm socket and a hammer

 

Bang a cheap 1/2" 12-point 13/16" socket onto the lug then twist it off with a breaker bar. Done deal.

 

Like every one is saying use a 12 point socket and hammer it on or mig weld a socket on the head. You can also buy the tool from Snap on. good luck. I did the mig weld trick on my Camaro

 

There are tools available through sources catering to the professional that are made for dealing with such matters. As mentioned, tire stores, most garages, etc. should have the tool to remove them. They're also available from roving tool dealers such as Snap-On, Mac, Matco and Cornwell.

 

Any tire store should be able to remove them. If you have a relationship with them they will usually do it for free.

You can also get the extractors at any auto parts store.

 

I had a similer problem the previous owner lost his. So I went to Sears and bought a set of inpact grade LUG_OUT #947392. There are designed for striped nut and wheel locks. Worked great! Took all my locks of and just put the regular nuts just like the rest of the car

 

Check your owner's manual.There maybe some info. on the lugnut key in there. Look for an attached card.

Here are a couple of places you can call for info:
