I was thinking I was overlooking the key to the wheel locks, but unless you know of a specific location I may have to have the dealer sell me a new set of locks with a key. The tools and the lug nut wrench have a spot outlined in the trays surrounding the spare, but the lug nut wrench itself is shaped to remove the lug nuts, it does not have the indentation to remove the wheel locks. In the truck with my full size spare there is not a slot or spot for the key to the locks. The owners manual for the 2008 Lexus ES350 does not mention the factory wheel lug locks. I have followed both of your suggestions. I had not given it any thought until my decision to replace the tires. I agree, I need to be able to replace the spare in an emergency or I would have to call roadside assistance. Isnt it on the end of the lug nut wrench in the trunk?ĭoes Owners Manual in glovebox tell you where to look? Near the spare? Ya gotta be able to put on a spare if you have a flat. I would appreciate any information regarding where I may be overlooking the key or confirmation that this is my only recourse.
#Lexus wheel lock key master set install#
I have not located the key after searching and I am about to purchase a new set of wheel locks with a key and have the dealership install them if this is the only solution. In my discussions with the tire shop they have explained to me that I need to locate my factory wheel lock key.
My question and dilemma is that I need to purchase new tires for my vehicle and I have decided to take my car to a tire shop and not the dealership. I mention this only because the dealership must be using my factory wheel lock key or they have a master key for all vehicles with factory wheel locks. The dealer has also removed my rear wheels to perform a TSB repair to the rear brakes. The wheels have been removed and rotated at the dealership during a routine maintenance visit. I purchased my 2008 Lexus ES350 last year as a used vehicle and I have not had a reason to use the key to the factory wheel locks.
