fehlbie Donating Members 142 Member For: 16y 1m 5d Posted 02/12/13 10:46 AM Share Posted 02/12/13 10:46 AM Just to let everyone out there know. The manufacturer that made the lock nut keys with the stamped numbers in the top like 3B59 and have gone out of business.I found this out today as mine rounded out on the inside, rendering it useless.Only to be told by ford that I cannot get one. So I now have four wheels I cannot get off the car.If anyone in Sydney has this key number 3B59, could I please use your key. I am willing to drive where ever you are. There are only 24 different keys. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86946-warning-lock-nut-keys/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is actual tools specifically made to do what you need. Most serious tyre place should be able to get it off still.

discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 17y 5m 11d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 02/12/13 02:44 PM Share Posted 02/12/13 02:44 PM Yeah good heads up. Also have heard of bashing a socket over it works Just got some Phoon rims with lock nuts...do not like the look or feel of the "key" at all. Plus I left it on the wheel once already and was lucky to have it fall off in the pea gravel driveway AND spot it while coming back from a walk, which was a rare event on its own!

freeze_dk I am dissatisfied with my current employment situation Donating Members 8,610 Member For: 18y 7m 8d Gender: Male Posted 03/12/13 01:21 AM Share Posted 03/12/13 01:21 AM Cheaper to buy a new set of locknuts then the key itself, only $5 difference. It is hard when you can't get them off though lol. My key also rounded, I bought one off eBay, just told them The code and they sent it out Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86946-warning-lock-nut-keys/#findComment-1443592 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only slows them down temporarily. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86946-warning-lock-nut-keys/#findComment-1443656 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car broken into as well. Lock nuts suck. And can't get as tight as the other nuts.
