Do you know where you got the wheel lock?
Go back to them and they will be able to help you.
If it is OE just go back to your dealer.

Go to Toyota then ..

Borrow their "master" key ..

Only ~ 20 different key anyway .. u can go any toyota store.

Try going to the dealers first, if doesn't work then try a popular tire store (like Volco), last chance is to heat up the lock with a torch then hammer a slightly bigger socket over it and try to spin it out with an impact gun.
Good luck.

They have lug nut key remover. That plus an impact wrench will take most key off ...

I was told that you can use a hammer and a larger nut to remove it....

Dunno if it works..

just go the dealer and remove the locks , you can order a new key from the dealer or just put regular wheel nuts on afterward.

If u already talked to the dealer ... then?

As Cwong said, put regular wheel nuts on it ok, no one is going to steal wheels from echo ..

Never said never. I remember reading from RevScene that steelies with snow tires could also be jacked.

I had OEM alloy on my Integer that get jacked outside of my house before. Low lives do exist.

bought the key from dealer $29 with tax, seems quite expensive just for the key, they have 10 different keys for all locks

作者: chobit 時間: 2009-11-22 01:36

if the key can be purchased so easily.. doesn't that make the lock relatively useless? I have never done research on such topic.....!

Just saw in walmart, they sell a set of wheellock with key for $17!
