Locking nut key

Post by **Donald** » Sun Apr 13, 2014 8:28 pm

I need this kind of key:

Some dancer outbid me at the last second on eBay (the above item)

@thebusofwoe these are an OEM item (08W42-S1A-601C) although from what I've seen they mostly seem to appear on 98-02 Accords... if you have a spare key at work that falls into your pocket, let me know

Not after all the locking nuts themselves as I already have those... currently stuck on the car

would rather get them off in one piece with a proper key than destroy them in the process, it's just wasteful!

So if anyone has a key, even one to just lend me for a couple of days, that would be great.

Guessing there Honda locking nuts? The 5th came with locking nuts, wonder if its the same?

Yeah they're OEM Honda. The ones in the image above have those covers that go over the pattern so it looks just like another nut, but mine doesn't have those. They're defo Honda though, I think I've seen them on a Prelude in the breaking section but the guy hasn't posted here in months.

I'm also assuming that these are all the same and Honda didn't make 1001 different patterns.

That looks almost identical to mine for my 5th. I'll check on the morrow.

Honda made around 25 to 30 different patterns of these. We have a big tub with all the master set patterns that we have. So your best bet chap would be to go to a dealer, that should have a master set, and ask them to remove them for you.

I have a key in the boot of my 6th gen Accord similar to that, I'll try and remember to stop at my parent's and get it. I think all the keys are different though, otherwise what would be the point of having them

*edit

beaten to it

I did wonder if that was the case, my thinking was if you can't do as many patterns as sets created, why bother at all

I guess though the chances of some pikey having the right key are quite slim so 25-30 sets is probably reasonable. Worth a try anyway!

Guess I will have to go to the dealer then. I take it they should just whip them off for nothing then?
