East Coast Dave Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 I have an Ameratrail trailer and seem to have either misplaced or never received from the previous owner the key to unlock. What's the easiest way to remove it? Would Ameratrail use the same one for their trailers? I would assume not,but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smilemaker Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 If it is ome I would contact Ameritrail with the trailer serial number and see if the have the key info on file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never knew they had a tool like that, but it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryH Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 I do not like the locking lug nuts. They are prone to seize on the wheel. My truck had them and on my 1st service I asked the service writer to remove them and install the regular lug nuts when they rotated the tires.

Never knew they had a tool like that, but it makes sense. Honestly, I didn't either until my wife bought a used car that had locking lugs but no key so I looked into this. I agree, kinda makes the locks useless...if we can buy this so can thieves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishmanjj Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Wow. I never knew you could buy a tool to remove locking lugs without a key.....I guess you can find almost anything on Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
