The -6 came with wheel locks from Garretson Enterprises, key which came with the car is broken, now I have to get the wheels off and can't get the locks off at the rear wheels, front wheels I could open using a small chisel. Any ideas what to do? Or does someone here has a Garretson Enterprises key number 5X?

Search here. About a month ago same problem and poster bought a lock removal kit at a Flaps. Perhaps whom ever that was will also pop in.
Normally it's a cheap socket and big hammer. Hammer the socket on and turn it off. Soak it in PHBlaster first. A really big pin spanner or a home made one ? Good luck. |

Worked great, took me about 2 minutes to remove all the lock bolts. Cost $10 at Advance Auto. Attached image(s) |
