This VW i bought doesn't have the wheel lock socket. I have tried everything short of welding a lugnut to the top.

I would like to get it done sometime soon. Thanks.

This is what the little bastard looks like.

Hmm.... You just might be in luck, if your willing to spend a little bit of money. The lug looks to be a 'Gorilla' lug nut. The key model for it is 1921SD search around you can probably get a key shipped to you for about $10 dollars or so.

Here you go I did a little bit of the work for you. I'll also post up a picture for you when I get back home this afternoon, and you can take a look for yourself to see if its a fit or not.

No NTB in portsmouth.

It's not a Gorilla lock.


Any other ideas? Anyone close have the Snap-On wheel lock remover set?

Monday I'll ask around my shop. I think a couple guys have one.

Is the car driveable?

well i think craftsman has the sockets that remove stripped bolt. they might work. and maybe the sockets that grip the side wall instead of the points. something like that might work.

The car is driveable. I just can't ever do anything until these bastards are off.

I have the snap-on twist sockets, they aren't deep enough to get around the stud.

Jarrod, let me know if you would, Thanks.
