Well now, that was a very good video. No annoying music and a friendly informative guy. I rate it a 10.

Is there a crime wave of stealing spares going on? Im with you, man. I'll take my chances of spare ending up on the black market. Thanks for the great video. In going to go check my spare now.

Types in how to use with key all videos popped up (without key) 🤦🏻

I’m sure that has been a ford secret for a long time but the unnamed tech who released it to you is the unsung hero here, he has a good heart and couldn’t keep letting the public get screwed by these lost wheel lock keys, so he waited until the next guy with a good heart came along that needed to know the secret and he shared it with Ron because he knew Ron would relay his message clearly to thousands, thanks so much to both of y’all.

It worked after the fact, had to get an old cheap 14 mm, and a long 3/8 extension, tapped it right on, lowered the spare no problm. Gonna drill a hole in the 14 mm while it is in the " lock mechanism, put a roll pin in , and just leave it on, and an old 3/8 ratchet, and long 3/8" extension with the tire tools/ jack.

Luckily there is very little holding the lock in

For anyone out there who may be having issues-I had to use a 9/16” to get mine down 👍🏼

I Smacked it Pretty Hard. All it would ever do is Bounce Back!! Ended up JB Welding the Socket to the Lock Nut!!

This was extremely helpful! I tried using sockets, but they were too hard. What did work for me was a spark plug tool - it was soft enough to hammer on.

03 F-150: beat a 14mm extraction socket onto the lock device with a hammer. Lowered tire. Socket stayed on the locking mechanism. Took off the lowering device like shown. Locking mechanism came off when I tried removing the extraction socket. Now works with just the tool under the hood. Did all of this in about 30 minutes. No problem... you can do it! Oh yeah... thank you!

@whiskeymedic

Every DIY video should be like this. Thought I was going to have to go through the hassle of a dealer to find a key then pay $50-100. Went out to my 2008 6.4 and this worked like a charm

@garybrugone433 Год назад

Thank you.

Great video, this just helped me get the tire down on my 2011 Superduty. Only difference was the socket size, after pounding on the 14mm and 3 foot extension for a few swings it didn't go on. I checked the face of the socket and could see I needed a bigger one, ended up using a 17mm socket. Everything else worked as you suggested it would. At the end I threw the lock and key in the garbage and left with the regular crank same as the jack.

my old 12-point 14mm sockets were too loose on the lock and would not bite and the only 6-point I could find in my toolbox was 1/4" drive. I found success with a 9/16" 6-point socket and was still able to pry the lock out of the socket when I was done. Thanks for saving me a bunch of time and money!

@austinaubinoe

This is genius thank you! Just spent an hour with my arm between the frame and the bed trying to pry off the key with some channel locks on a 2010. Will try this now.

2012 F-350 needed 17mm socket. Worked like a charm

@bruceshepperson754 2 года назад

This is a super video. I watched another earlier of someone cutting the spring. I will say that I tried alot of times and almost gave up until I read the comments and found that the 17mm socket was the one that worked for me. Thank you Ron and all those that commented. Only thing I purchased was a cheap 24inch socket extension from harbor freight. Again, thanks. GREAT video.

So this is the second video I found on how to remove the lock, the first recommended one at about 2/3rds the way through mentions that "If the spare tire is on the carrier you will first have to figure out a way to get it down to remove the lock" Well that was a "FAIL" video and a complete waste of time. Then off to the side I saw your video and clicked on it. Very very helpful clue about the 14mm socket!!!! Grabbed a cheap 12 point 14mm socket and one of my very long locking extensions and "viola" ! Lock removed in just a few seconds! Problem perfectly solved! Ironically, I am going on a road trip tomorrow with my "new to me" F250 SD and just wanted to check the spare! Thanks again!!😁😁😁😁
