In need of some RMIC assistance

SkiWrex · 10-04-2012, 07:52 PM

Long story short, lost the wheel lock key to get my 04 BBS's off my car:

I'm hoping someone has one of these and will let me borrow it for 2 seconds.

HALP!

Let me check, I may have one of these still. If not you can get them at dicount tire for like 5 bucks my be a more viable solution and cost savings in fuel.

SkiWrex · 10-04-2012, 08:45 PM

Cool thanks RJ

Man I thought I was going to see some rear mount intercooler action in here haha.

smdandb2 · 10-04-2012, 09:10 PM

Those McGard nuts are not universal. Having someone elses tool will probably do you no good. If I remember correctly they have at least 20 different keys.

SkiWrex · 10-04-2012, 09:28 PM

Dammit

bc303 · 10-04-2012, 09:32 PM

I have some large impact bolt extractors that would probably work on it. Unfortunately im in colorado..

bhhamblin · 10-04-2012, 09:39 PM

Any tire store can get them off for you. Or go to subaru, i think they have a master set.

Baddie · 10-04-2012, 10:13 PM

I got this.. Shoot me a text, (801) 380-0442

Ive done this. Struck out each time.

Touge86 · 10-05-2012, 01:35 AM

You can try mine

Subr-man · 10-05-2012, 10:20 AM

Ok looked in all my tool boxes it's a no go. I had about 6 different mcgard ones but I must have tossed them last spring cleaning. I always do that hang onto something forever because I know the minute I throw it away I will have need for it.

I would just run over to Discount and have the take it off for free with one of theirs if you don't have any intentions of reusing them.

SkiWrex · 10-05-2012, 10:30 AM

I've already called a couple discount tires...they all say they can, but they don't want to run to wheel studs, so they're kind of hesitant to do it.

bhhamblin · 10-05-2012, 10:44 AM

Wheel studs are easy to replace.

SkiWrex · 10-05-2012, 10:57 AM

update, Mark Miller southtowne came through. I called them yesterday and the service tech said they didn't have the master key set. I called again today and talked to someone with a brain in Parts, and he said they do have it. I went in and he loaned me the master key set to get the suckers off!! And for zero monies!

k20utah · 10-05-2012, 11:28 AM

Good now get your new wheels on now!

Nice. My question is why the hell were they on the car after you already got the new ones installed last weekend?

Because they were hitting the fenders so bad I had to take them off so they didn't get ruined. And I actually exchanged them for some smaller tires to achieve a lower profile.

What? What series tire did you have and end up going with?

SkiWrex · 10-05-2012, 05:11 PM

225 45 17

exchanged for 215 45 17
