HOW TO REMOVE OEM MCGARD WHEEL LOCKS WITHOUT A KEY

[ImStricken06]

ok guys, this project is one i never thought id have to do lol. but, mrs imstricken does like to surprise me! Anyway if you remember we recently swapped the rims out from the summer ones to the winter ones, and during that process i told her to put the wheel lock back in the glove box..... thats where mrs imstricken doesnt do so well = organization in her car lol long story short = she lost the wheel lock.

THESE ARE THE OEM WHEEL LOCKS ALL NISSAN & INIFINITI CARS COME WITH.
if you bought your rogue with wheel locks, McGard are gonna be the ones Nissan installed.


If you or someone you know loose your wheel lock key, and the card- remember to reference this thread.

NOTE: you can purchase the same wheel locks at any auto store, as they are almost double the price in the dealer. for now, she is gonna roll around without them.
i just wanna remind you that not all lug nuts are the same. some are 1.25, some are 1.50 and some are all other crazy numbers. some lug nuts have the tip rounded, some are flat on the tip, some are more arrowed/pointed, some have washers like my G37. find the right one for you before you simply jam it on your stud and ruin the threading.

Wheel locks? Never use them. Oh wait, you live in NJ, the armpit of America, so I'm guessing they're a standard feature.

hardy-har-har! lol this was a standard feature on the top of the line S model, so we had no choice. otherwise, i agree = worthless.

this also works on stripped lug-nuts. a lot of guys replace their lug-nuts with ones that look nicer with aftermarket rims, or because they stripped their originals. often times aftermarket ones are cheap, soft metals that strip very easily. this simply socket makes a great DIY versus towing to a mechanic/dealer if you find one of your lug-nuts is not able to be removed the normal way.
