Wheel lock
Just bought a 89 vette. There is a special wrench that is needed to take the center cap off to get at the lug nuts. I have tried everywhere I can think. They are factory 89 wheels. I hope someone can help me. Thanks

RE: Wheel lock
Your local Chevy dealer should be able to get you the key for it.

I know this is a stupid question, but did you look in the console? There's a spot for that wrench/key in there. I know I came across my wrench/key by accident. Otherwise like Danase said.

RE: Wheel lock
No question is stupid. Yes I did look there. Thanks anyway. Problem solved. Went to local Chevy dealer and ordered a new wrench and bolts. The wrench wouldn't take the old bolts out. A friend has a body shop. Took it over to him and he drilled a hole in the center and used a EASY-OUT to get them out. I installed the new bolts and put the wrench in the console where it belongs. Thanks to everyone that tried to help me.

RE: Wheel lock
Too bad the guy you bought it from didn't take care to keep track of the wrench but at least you got the problem solved. On my 88 I had to weld a socket to the wrench so I could use an impact driver to get the bolts out, they were that tight! Plus someone bugered the bolts up a bit trying to get em loose. How much did the dealer hit you for the 4 bolts and newwrench. I may replace mine since the wrench dosen't fit the best any more.

RE: Wheel lock
I did get my new wrench and lock bolts from my local chevy dealer like Danase said. They listed @ $140. I got them for $95. Guess they felt sorry for me. The new ones went right in. I did put some NEVER SEZE on them. I want them to come out easy if they have to. Take care. Happy Holiday's to all.
