McGard locking Key's

Well as some of you know, my key that turns my locking lugs busted last year at shannonville, after trying to remove Nickm50s slicks.

I was trying to figure out a way to get the lugs off. i bought the locking lug remover from princess auto a week ago, but it did not work seeing the lugs were to far set into the rim.
So, i went down to the local for dealership to see if they were factory locking lugs. he told me i had to call McGard.

So i did, and they said all i had to do was mail them the key, and they would replace it at NO CHARGE!!!!

If only i had tried that 5 months ago...

SO i guess this post was just to let you know, if your key breaks, just give them a call....

My key got lost once, and all I did was pound a 19mm socket on it and replaced the lock once I got it off. Might be another option if anyone dont want to wait.

That is good to know, thats what we do at my work to get them off... Or we torch them off. But there is a good chance the rim will get a little messed up so I wouldnt recommend it on nice rims.

Thats wierd, I am a mcgard dealer and I didnt know that.
