Re: Help!!

AFAIK, keys are not interchangeable on stock wheels. Someone buzz Keller 'cause he had to mickey mouse a lock off not too long ago.

Re: Help!!

I recall a post about being able to get replacements from McGard....any validity to that?
Anybody tried it or know how to go about it?

I'd give that a try if it's not your DD before you ruin the lock with drilling. I know someone who used the srewdriver and hammer to slowly tap it loose. Make sure you are loosening it and not tightening.
