We just did this for a friend, who lost his key. Cost $19.99

I have been looking for a matching set but no luck so far. I think these are OE locks because I have seen them on other mazdas and a similar lock with a different pattern on my bosses wifes lexus.

I borrowed a set of those from the fleet mechanic at work and they didnt work for me.

I did ask around and the tire places want $20 a wheel! And thats on top of $500+ in new tires.

I'll try a 12 point lower grade socket and see how that works. I appriciate the help but I dont want to pollute this thread with any more stupid maintinance issues.
