Did you look in the hatches behind the seats and in the door pad armrest in the newer ones? And yes there was just a thread on this. You take a pic of them and send it to the company in Mich let us know if you need the info.
Just looked can not find I am sure someone will. I know it is there and you need it now with your brake issue.

Take the car to a large tire shop (Big O, etc). They have to tools to remove the locks. They probably do this daily.

They are Off! A 13/16 12 pt socket, a hammer, to jam it on, and a air impact wrench to back them off. I did have trouble with one, but a little cussing a little PB blaster to soak them , and all is good. A local auto parts has regular lug nuts that I will pick up tomorrow
I will have a lot of other questions. Before this project is up to par.
Thanks fore the help.
