Go to the dealer and get a replacement???Is there any way. I promise I'm not trying to steal wheels. My buddy is deployed and his wife got a flat on their wrangler. Stock 17s with the mopar wheel locks. It's. 2011. The old lock was sheared in half. Any suggestions would be wonderful.
The dudes at the dealership didn't have any. It sucks because its her only car and she needs to drive it tonight. Some family thing.... Not really my business
Probably should have PM'ed responses but at least not everyone can read the response and have an easier time stealing wheels.
You don't think a criminal knows how to steal rims?
They might not know how to break a lock off of one. But they do now. :thumb:

Do you really think this forum Is full of criminals? I do want some slabs, but I haven't gotten that desperate yet! And I am very sorry for being the first and only person on the entire Internet to slip that little secret out there! Oops

Well thanks for the advice guys. I guess she didn't want me breaking the lug so the point is moot now. Not sure why. I was gonna give her a new lug so she wouldn't have to deal with it, plus she already has two other wheels that had the same issue at different times. Surprised it didn't get addressed a long time ago.
Doesn't want me to do that either. She is afraid her husband will get mad at her. Guess if they don't have luck at the dealership ( which I doubt they will, cuz they suck out here) then ill resort to all the methods above.
Will a socket work though. I tried turning it with some other stuff and the actual outside piece of the locking nut just spun around the rest of the nut. I figured it would do the same thing with a socket.
I used this method on my 1990 jeep Comanche (198,000 miles) lugs. Worked very easy once I found a socket that fit tight. It's a hell of a lot better than breaking a stud off with no repair bill either!
