I went to install the shaved rear calipers TYF sent me, but when I went to get the key to my wheel locks it was missing PHUCK!!!!!!! I can't find it any where. I've looked through the entire truck. The locks are the Gorilla Locks they are going to be a PITA to take them off. By the way all of the lugs have locks yep I gotta brake all 20. :mad:
 
now that really sucks ----can you get a new key from the company
 
why dont you get a hold of Gorilla and have them send you a new key?
 
If you cant find the key go to a shop they will have a socket that is a cone that tapers smaller as it goes in. they hammer it on and run them off with the air gun. sometimes it damages them and sometimes it doesent it just depends on what kind they are. but you will need a new set to put on to get home so i would order a new set of lugs or if you have the stockers and go have a shop just switch them out:dontknow:

I called them up, but they need the number on the key to send a replacement. Since I don't have the key, I don't have the number so I'm pretty much SOL :toilet:

Yeah and sometimes it doesent hurt the locks eather so if you find the key later your ok. where you in the garage with a pair of vice grips and a pipe for leverage:p is going to destroy the locks and maybee damage the wheels

I had these on my ex-gf's car. I broke the key and called them with a number that I had on the box. I know you don't have the number but you might want to try and snap a good picture of the key design on your lug nut up close and send it to them. They only have so many combo's, maybe 15. They will be able to tell you which one it is. I'm sure this is a rather common issue!! :dontknow:
 
I have a mac tools version of this in my 4x4 v10, along with an air gun running off of CO2. Wheel locks come of as quick as a lug!
