I just got a 95 Eclipse GS and it doesn’t have the manual. I can find it online to order but I was wondering if there’s a place that I can download a PDF version of it. I got the car a week ago and can’t wait to drive it but I need the manual to fix some things in it. All I can find in the stores are the shop repair books. Which I don’t need just yet. So does anyone know? Also does anyone know the quickest way to get a lug lock of a tire? The bolt is round and I don’t have the key to it. Looking at drilling down to the bolt. Any easier ways?

 

Yeah I know another way if you have a socket you're willing to sac for it. Take a small hand sledge and an impact socket just a little smaller than your normal lug size. knock it onto the locking lug with the sledge and use either a breaker bar or impact to get it off that way.

 

The problem with that is that the lug is round with no rivets in it. So when I tried doing that the socket would either just pop off the lug or one cheap socket I used got striped. That sucker is on pretty tight so I think im screwed unless I drill through it.

 

Not really I'd say take a cold chisle and try putting it on the corner at a sharp angle so that when you hit it it'll turn it (hopefully) and the whole reason I said the socket idea was cuz if you use one small enough you'll have to force it fairly hard on the lug then you MIGHT have a chance at getting it. Also you might go looking at Advanced or Pep Boys or Auto Zone they might have a locking set that's close enough that you MAY be able to use THAT key with some alteration then I'd suggest ditching the lockers and using regular ones.

 

Ok Ill try that out. When I went to pep boys and I asked them they told me that I can’t see the keys because they think im trying to steal a car. And all the ones I saw have a different patern in it. (Mine have a flower). I think that when I get them off I will buy ones again for safety its just that I just bought this car last week and the previous owner lost it. But I will try that chisel thing tomorrow. Thanks

 

They wouldn't let you see the lugs??? LOL here they have them on hooks you can pick them up and look at them LOL

 

lol same thing happened to me the mitsu lock nuts are a joke, i got my dad to weld a nut onto the lug and used that as a means to take it off, if you dont have a welder than you can go to a dealer, but they charge 35 shells a nut.

 

Speed weld dude. Good call I hadn't even THOUGHT about that. Use either JB weld or speed weld (JB is 2 part liquid and speed weld is a 2 part clay consistancy type). Use that to stick a nut on each of them then use THAT to take them off.

 

Just make sure you get the stuff AROUND the lug AS WELL AS in the groove for the key as much as possible. and let it FULLY harden (Remember you'll be putting a decent amount of torque on it).
