    Had to put the spare on today, only to discover the replacement wheel lock (dealership forgot to give my original one back after a service appt there & mailed me a replacement) didn't fit the tire wrench that came with the truck.

    2.5 hours later it's done, thanks to a neighbor who had a large enough socket and a breaker bar and no thanks to my 4 year old who kept taking the damn wheel lock, tire wrench, and anything else she could get her hands on lol

    So I say all that to say this: check the fit of your wheel key to your tire wrench before you actually need it.

    I'm probably going to use this as an excuse to get new lug nuts, and you can't get new lug nuts w/out getting new rims right? right.

    Throw the wheel locks away and buy some real tools like your neighbor has. :D
