so im checking my lugs this afternoon to make sure that theyre not coming loose (i do this probably around every oil change, since my tires are so wide), and today, after i checked 2 of them, i broke the wheel lock key off in the wheel lock on the 3rd one. i applied pressure to the lug wrench, and that was it, heh. the special "pattern" on the key twisted right off of the socket and is now stuck in the wheel lock. i dont have any tools at my apartment, but im reasonably sure that when i go home next weekend, i can get the material out of the wheel lock with a pair of needlenose pliers. i plan on calling mcgard tomorrow to order a new key, but im hoping that they dont say, "ok, the total for your new wheel lock key comes to $50.00 plus shipping, and you should have it in 4-6 weeks", heh.
anyone ever deal with this before?
