Key for Wheel Lock

I lost my key for the wheel locks. Called a GM dealership and they tell me I need to bring the car in and get all new locks. Is there another way? Are they not standard?

you could just break all of them off and get new ones. either way. if you had the serial # to the key, it would have saved you lots of time and money

There are a lot of different kinds of locks, as well as keys. Kinda like the door to your house. You can take it to a local shop and have them remove the lock, but that is about the only way.

If you think you can, you can pound a smaller socket on there and it may come off. I have done this with success.

The problem comes when you try to get that lug out of the socket lol. A bench vise is your friend...

Indeed it is. I just pounded the socket side to side till it came out.
