Default Wheel Security Locks

Hi, My wheel lock keys broke. Any way to remove them? Where can I find a tool to remove the big nut. Thanks

Must be widely available, I was at Walmart the other day and they had a gadget that went in their wrench and removed the locking lug nut on another SUV. I asked if it was a univeral "key" and they said it was. Believe from Snap on, so other tire shops have it also.

If they were the standard Rover type wheel lock then go to your Dealers parts dept, most of them carry a complete set of keys so you can match them up then order a replacement key.

I advise against wheel locks because the key breaks or they rust and cant be removed.
Any tire shop will have the key you seek.

Thank you. I'll just have them remove and use the regular lugs again.

I have a 13 year old set of Rover locks, never rusted or had any problems other then loosing the key once.
When you find out the cost to remove them you may rethink just going to the dealer for key replacement for around $25.
