I am looking for the special "lug" wrench for my 2003. I just bought the car from a dealership and they know nothing of it's whereabouts. The parts dept. says that I need the "1-800" number with my vin to call and the 1-800 guys will send me a new one. ?????
HELP !!

I'm not sure what you mean by a "special lug wrench." There is a socket required for the wheel locks which will vary from car to car. Is this it? You will have to order that from the dealer and that will require the VIN #. Usually, that socket (very dark hardened metal) is in the gloverbox or one of the rear truck side wells.

 

As Lee says, if it's a coupe then when standing at the rear of the vehicle and lifting the center and left hand cargo compartment covers it should be between the two in a custon slot. After searching everywhere in the car. You could go to a dealer and get them to figure out which key works, assuming they are GM's or you could figure on writing them off and getting some new ones.

I recently looked into getting locking nuts and bought some from Westcoast corvette. These were rubbish as a standard socket fitted them - I will be sending back I think and posting a warning. So in doing more research I found that you can get off the majority of locks with a slightly undersized socket, hammered on, assuming theoutside diameteris not free to move (these are the ones I went with, Gorillas at $20 of ebay including shipping). These is a breakers standard trick so you could give this a shot a save yourself some money as I am sure a new key alone will be more than $20 from a dealer.

Good luck!
