Default You guys know where......

Do you guys know where I can get a wheel key? I was going to paint my rotors today, got the car all jacked up and could not get the wheels off. Have no idea where my key is. I have the original 01 wheels.

Also wanted to get a copy of the GM repair manual. I can order one from the dealer. Do you guys know of another place to get one of these. I know how expensive these things are.

Thanks

Lee

Don't know if yours is here or not but give it a try. Remove your center rear compartment cover, and look just under the carpet along the left-hand edge. (You may have a carpet overlap there).There is a recessed area there and that's where most of them are put from the factory.

Helm Publishing produces the Factory Shop Manuals for GM. Get their address from any GM dealer. The guys in the parts dept. have it. Maybe another forum member might have also. You have to buy it direct from Helm. Dealer doesn't sell it. They are also available from some vendors, but you're probably not going to save much if anything due to possible mark-up.

Hope that helps,
Robert

Got mine used with barely any miles and the key was nowhere in sight. We had to force it off with the gun.

Found the manual at helm online. I just ordered it. Thanks.

The wheel key wasn't there. ANybody know where to get one. Can I just get one from the dealer?

I try to avoid the dealer for religous reasons.
:D :D :D
