Spec.Battle Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Does anyone have a tow or able to remove lug locks to change my flat!?! I hit a pothole this am on my way to work. I can't afford to pay 80$ plus tow and just need the damn lug locks removed to put my spare on. Willing to pay or compensate some how. Please email ASAP. Thank you I'm near broadway and alameda.

bluesuby Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Be careful if you're thinking tow. The car needs to be flatbedded. Most tire shops have a tool to break and remove the lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info. I was hoping Subaru or a tire shop would let me borrow a master so I can get my spare on. Not having very good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spec.Battle Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 Assuming these are factory Subaru locks. I just want the damn spare on so I can get a new tire already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to break it to you but it's not often you can replace just one tire with a new one. Asking for serious troubles if it's not the same exact tire and within 1/4" circumference. Good luck I hope it all turns out for the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the city actually kept up on fixing gaping potholes in this city we wouldn't have this issue. Would be one thing if is modded my car out to be super low and hit a small bump but this shit felt like I hit a wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spec.Battle Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 Turns out my key was at Midas since they rotated my tires last. Long story short key broke and Midas paid to tow my car. My tires are at 4/32 and 5/32. Guess I need to replace them all now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spc2125 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Wow. Howd you find out midas had it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragman Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 what kinda of locking lug nuts do you have? Most of them aren't very unique and tire shops like discount have most combinations for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lgt07 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Sounds like a mess, sorry man. Although I can certainly relate, I hit a pot hole on 70 last winter and trashed one of my snow tires that still has yet to be replaced :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
