Locking Wheel Nut Code

Kieran53 · 11-17-2021, 04:41 AM

Hi, I've lost my locking wheel nut adapter. Has anyone any idea where I can find the code so that I know which one to purchase? I presume the main dealer will have this if I give them the chassis number but I'm wondering if I can find this code myself somewhere and purchase the adapter from Ebay or somewhere. Thanks.

My dealer had to try the various wheel lock ":keys": from their master set until they found the right one. Then, the parts guy said the locks are made by McGard and had m order a new key from them.

They have a kit at Harbor Freight that can get any wheel lock lug off. My suggestion is to ditch all the wheel locks. It's a gimmick the closer at the dealer sold you when you took delivery (or the PO) and not a deterrent and it is more likely you will lose the key than them deterring a thief. Not to mention, they are just a pain in the ass when you want to take your wheels off having to insert the key into the wrench.
