Around 1997, a tire changer stripped the center cap key to my
Syclone. McGard replaced it under their lifetime warranty.
I sent them the old key and they shipped me a new replacement. I
think the cost would have been $10 or so if I didn't send the old
one. BTW, I am at least the fourth owner of the truck and there
didn't appear to be any original purchaser only restrictions.<br>
<br>
As I recall, if I didn't have the old key, I could have sent a pencil
tracing of the pattern so they could identify the proper replacement.<br>
<br>
BTW, the tire guy that stripped the key did so when I was trying to
have a flat repaired. Discount Tire had a kit that enabled them
to remove the lock without damaging it, but only one person in the shop
knew the kit existed and knew how to use it. It looked sort of
like a center punch with the same diameter as the head of the
lock. The tip was made of a soft metal, perhaps lead. They
lined it up and hit it with a hammer to pick up the pattern of the
lock, then turned it with a wrench. It only took a couple of
minutes, and had quite acceptable results.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 9/3/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">Marc</b> <<a href="mailto:marc@bendbroadband.com">marc@bendbroadband.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
WM:<br>Been a long time since I thought about your problem but I believe there is a<br>code in you glove compartment that designates your wheel lock key. It is<br>made by McGard @ 800-444-5847 or 716-662-8980. If someone on the list does
<br>not verify that this is true I will check my Sy.<br>Let me know.<br><br>Marc<br><br>----- Original Message -----<br>From: "W M" <<a href="mailto:rebel_racer_ta@yahoo.com">rebel_racer_ta@yahoo.com</a>><br>
