    It's so frigin odd. I put the breaker bar in there, and the pliers and the mulcher (vice grip) .. But no where is the key in site.

      sorry dood, those style locks are the ****tiest you can buy. They are so prone to strippage & eventually get so worn that they don't allow any torque on the wheel.

      NEVAR let a mechanic remove or install your wheel using an impact gun with those locks...my buddies integra's key was FOCKED after a single use of an impact gun with that style lock.


      I like the hex-style locks that slide deep into the socket, not as ridiculously shallow as those mcguards. You have to have talent to strip those.

        I have factory alloys, if someone wants them bad enough to steal them... they can have em

        ... that is lf they're willing to risk an asskickin' if I catch them.
