Wheel Locks for Sawblades

[Brady]

So I was gonna replace my steering rack boots when I realized I cannot for the fucking life of my find my wheel key for the stupid locks on my stupid sawblades

now i feel stupid

i called the local dealer and before i could finish my sentence he said i need new locks all around and said thatd be real expense

well

im wondering if maybe i can jus use someone elses key and itll jus work

si o no?

Well if they have the same lock you can use it. Usually there are not many patterns. Or you can just go to any autoshop and pick up a set of locks too.

Thats wierd. When i went to my local toyota dealership they were able to order me a key only. He brought out this plastic box that had about 30 different wheel lock patterns and tried them all until he found the right one

He was wondering why they have locks in the first place. Most of us just have lugs on our sawblades.

No wheel locks needed.

im in san maten but ill pay to ship and ship back

you can buy these things that have reverse threads on them that go over the lug. As you reverse your impact or breaker bar it screws down on the wheel lug and eventually grabs it hard enough to break it free.

Or you can go to any tire shop, they have special tools to remove those when the lock is lost.

 

[Brady]

well the thing is id need to be able to take them off and then put them back on after i the steering rack boots

 

[romaniello]

The tire shop can sell you a new set for cheap. In an extreme case, you can drive with only 4 nuts until you get to your favorite wheel shop (or Walmart).

Exactly my thought when I first read this post, my second thought was I'll bet onejoezee or justanothervictim beat me to it.

I must be psychic. LMAO.

Rims are rims, somebody tried to steal my brotheres a long time ago...

But i'll go find the key, and i'll ship it to you if necessary.
I'll be sure to send a picture of it first.

PM me though, no need to clutter this up.
