Question Wheel Lock Dilema...

Ill make it short so here goes...

I put in my new rear suspension last week then took my car out for a drive... When I got home to re-torque everything I could NOT find the wheel lock key... I have McGard's and SF Challenges - There is a little of play room to fit a socket but I cant seem to break it loose (80-85ft/lbs)... I would have ordered a new key but the registation number or whatever its called is nowhere to be found...

So, my questions is... Where the hell do I go to have the locks taken out? I actually just need one taken off so I can send it back to Mcgard and they can figure out the new key (I hope)...

Thanks in advance for the help...

Ritche

There are wheel shops that may sell them. I know that Subydude in Fremont sells Mcgard lug nuts so he may have the correct lock
