I am in the middle of detailing Caroline and on one wheels the ford wheel lock will not come off its slightly stripped (thanks discount tire for that) Besides hitting a smaller sized socket onto it to get it off or vise grips which i have no room to use, any one else have ideas how to get it off?

And dont you have to call ford and give them a serial number to get new wheel locks or something ridiculous. I know i have a bag with some numbers and **** on them. And i didnt get to go to the track because i couldnt put on my drag radials last night either, weak stuff.

 

in your owners manual paxcket is a fone # to McGuard lock co and that card has a serial # on it. they can send/sell you a new lock or key....now most Ford/Linc-Merc have master sets that they can use to remove yours, if youve lost or damaged the key and then you can but a new set, @$49.00 from Ford

 

18mm socket, 5lb hammer.

 

You have to get a big hammer, not a standard one for nails.

 

my method of choice!!

 

I ended up pounding a socket on, sucks i cant use it anymore. Looks like i need a new set of wheel locks now.
