Last time I had to take the tires off was almost a year ago when I took it to a local shop for an alignment and did not check to see if my wheel lock key was left in my car when I drove off.

Now it's about that time for a brake service and I have no idea what to do. Any suggestions?

You can either have a tire shop zip it off. It shouldn't be hard but you wont be able to use your keys again or...

take a pic/send to sewell or go to your dealer. I'm sure they can replace the key for you on the spot.

you can go to a major toyota dealership and they could find you a set that works if they have it in stock. i did that. cost about 50 bucks.

or like pmanliu said, you can have it taken off pretty damn easy with a lug nut removal tool at any shop. discount tire will do it for free for you.

I just bought my second Lexus 2 weeks ago. This time an IS250. Dealer did not have keys for wheel locks. I used a 3/4 inch socket tap in with hammer and remove with electric impact wrench. Put socket in vise grip to punch out key from socket. Do not push in impact wrench more than you have to, it makes it real hard to remove key from socket. 15 min job.

I stripped mine, went to the closest dealer to me and bought a new one, it'd that simple.

all of the above visit a dealer to find out which one you have and order it.

I tapped a 3/4 socket over mine and used an impact to crank them off.

Look in your owners manual; I've got this tucked into one of the documents within the owners manual :

Gville350, You're awesome! I never knew that packet was in the owners case. Saved me so much wasted time.

Thank you everyone who replied - really appreciate it!

Bring it to your Lexus dealer for the next service, with a set of standard lug nuts, and ask them to swap them out for you--they have all the keys.

Toyota may be the same, but I discovered when I did that with my Acura that Honda dealers didn't use the same set of keys, and I had to go to the Acura dealer.

Toyota/Lexus use the same keys.
