motor swap time

[4BangerV8Killer]

we started a motor swap today and in 4 hours we got down to the axels.....all thats left is those, driveline, and mounts.

but unfortunately the bastard before me put wheel lock nuts in place of the regular lug nuts....can i get the keys at kragen or something or are they special finds cause i didnt get the key with the car.

good luck finding a key to get those wheels off. I worked at a tire shop for the last 2 years and MOST keys are actually unique and you wont be able to find another one like it. We had an "EASY OUT" kinda tool that you hammered onto the wheel lock and then spun it out with an impact. It wrecks the lock but at least you get the wheel off. I would talk to a local tire shop and im sure they can help you out.
I just did a 6 bolt swap in my 95 tsi today. Pulled the motor yesterday and got the 6 bolt in and running today. Went very smooth...fired right up and didnt throw any codes yet.
