Hey guys I recently got a flat tire and come to notice that I dont have my wheel lock any more and I have no idea where it is....The tire wont hold any air so I really cant take it any where at all...Is there any way to get this damn lock off thanks in advance

I had the same problem, the dealer didn't supply the keys with the locks. I went back to the dealer because they have a MASTER set but believe it or not, nothing worked. I ended up taking the car to a tire dealer and they FORCIBLY removed the old locks. I purchased new locks and where all good.

 

You can remove wheel locks by buying a cheap socket (Made in China) that is about the same size as the wheel lock. Pound it on over the wheel lock and then remove with a ratchet. I have had the same thing happen to me.

 

maybe try using a can of fix-a-flat so you can at least drive to your Ford dealer, who can get the tire off for you and/or give you a key to fit your wheel lock.

 

This is a good reminder to everyone with wheel locks!
Check your trunk right now for your lock! Is it there?

 

Here's one quick story....a friend of mine broke his lock "key" socket (for lack of better word) while trying to change a tire(yes, at night) and was SOL (**** out of luck).As most of us do, he only had the one he got from the dealer...the second he told me his story Ireordered one for about$14.00. That's some cheap insurance against a "heart attack" while trying to something as simple as changing a tire...

 

tire places usually break them off for like 15 bucks each

 

+1....lot of work for me though. I only had one socketso after geting thelock off, I had to get thelock out of the socket which required heating and a lot of hammer pounding.I had todo that 3 times...I left the lastlock in the socket because I was tired..lol

 

Thanks for the help guys I jus went and got two tire plugs put them both in and thank god I made it to the dealer and they took care of the rest
