Lost Wheel lock key.
 

I lost my lug nut lock key. So I ordered a new one off Amazon.com. The part# was 999W2-JT000. I got that number from the bag the original key was in. Long story short it does not fit. Looks like it should. Same part # and same bag as the original. It did come with 4 new lug nuts though. Only problem is I need to loosen the old locking lug nuts and I can just swap them. I am wondering if I just took it to the dealership they could loosen them for me? Think they would charge you for that?

Sometimes you can get a pair of vice grips on them. Otherwise spot weld on regular nuts and spin them right off.

You can also check with the nissan dealer. They might be able to reference the VIN with which key was provided - most manufacturers only have 5 or so different lock keys. Problem may be that the lock kits come from the parts department not shipped with the car, or that's how mine was packaged anyways.

Did I mentioned weld a nut on? :p

This style wheel lock is really like a key, they shift the angle position of the grooves on the pattern so it's not exactly a universal fit. They produce 5 - idk 20+ unique patterns. This prevents a thief from just buying the key... Loosing your original really sucks. I expect there is a second number somewhere in your packaging or included paperwork that has another number. Probably not printed in a way that makes it evident what it is.

I went through this on my old ford.. in my case, there was an 'f6' on one corner of the instruction manual that was in the package. They sold me a new key for like $15. The key pattern was identical to the ones you posted...

get a high quality 12pt. socket that is 1 size smaller than slipping over locking nut & drive on with a 2lb hammer....worked for me w/oem Nissan locks.
you will need a vise to knock lug out of socket & go to the next one....i left my key 45miles from where i was at & performed this,,,was able to reinstall w/factory key,,,just put a couple grooves on sides of locks.

These may work for you as well https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fa13be12f5.jpg

Dealerships usually have a master set that can be used as a reference to order a new key. Visit your favorite one.

That is what I did and then I just call McGuard and purchase the key.

agreed, use to steal wheels all the time with this method.

Like others have said, hit up the dealer to remove them. Then put on the new ones you got with the new key.

I've collected several different OEM wheel lock keys over the years. I'd be interested in the old wheel locks if you get them off without damaging them :twocents:

I have the paperwork for the original. May just order one through dealer. I assumed the 999W2-JT000 were all the same.

+1 OP this might be your easiest option. I had to do this when the tire shop gave me back the wrong lug key.

I'll order a new lock. In the meantime. Time I have some sockets and a hammer in the back Incase I got a flat and needed to put on the spare

And I will probably find my old lock eventually.......Right after I get a new one . ��
