So long story short, I had new tires put on a couple months back. Somehow, I managed to lose the key for my locks in the process. Now, I'm in desperate need of new front brakes and have no way of getting the wheels off.

Will a Honda dealer sell just the wheel key? Are they universal? And am I going to be paying $500 for one?

 

I hope there not all the same or they would be pointless. I would take your car to a shop and have them take em off for you. I lost my key on my hatch and i had a small repair shop take em off for i think 10 bucks.

 

Yep...convince them it's your car.

 

If worst comes to worst, auto parts stores sell a socket/drive that's got sharp blades inside of it that will grip the lugnuts for removal.

 

Honda dealer has the key. There are a limited number of keys with the idea being that a potential wheel theif will not have all of them. It would cost a boatload for Honda to have individual patterns for each set - hence they don't.

Just go to your dealer and explain the situation.

 

Yup they have a master set, if you ask nice I'm sure they help

 

They sure do. Mine came with the lock, but no key. They did it for free.

 

Can't a tire shop take them off?

 

I was at the dealer couple weeks ago and the guy asked me if i had my wheels lock key with me...anyways he said it didn't matter if i had them or not he has a key for it...




peace

 

You should get a code number with the car/locks that you can use to order a new key.
