ok long story short, someone hit me, my cars totalled....im running over to where they have my car today, taking my rims and putting the stockies back on....problem is the key that came with the wheel locks on my car (stock nissan i believe) is bent....can i get the locknuts off somehow?...i dont care if i mess the car up, just not the rims, nissan suggested i use a chisel......any suggestions??, i got 2 hours before i have to go.....thanx for the help in advance

 

Ask another local Nissan dealer if they can take off your rims. One time I took my car in to the dealership and I forgot to give them the key to my Nissan wheel locks. They were able to take off the wheels so they must have some kind of master key.

 

same here, but my key was broken. They charged me almost $20 to do that, since they need to count that as labor, and cheapest they can do is $20. Also, not sure they have THEE master key, since they had to bring some big set of different keys and look at the number on my locks to find the right one.

 

yea...i would do that, but my cars totalled, and probably sitting in the insurance storage yard....any ideas...i know u macguyvers out there got something up ur sleeve

 

Dremel it! Or Drill it out!

 

Youll be there forever trying to drill them out. The best way is with a chisel just make a notch on the edge and "walk" the wheel lock off. If you have one available i would suggets using an air chisel, it will save a bit of time. And also keep the other 4 lugs on tight they will releave some pressure off of the wheel lock.
