where did the lugs come from?

Most automotive stores sell lug keys for all different patterns, might also try a reputable tire shop.

I stocked a bunch when I sold wheels. Talk to a car dealership they might let you borrow it.

Lol this happened to me too with my old set of wheels. Had to find something "close" at Autozone. The lug key they had barely got the job done.

ive got a tool at work for removing wheel locks. basicly its a reverse spiral cut into the socket, the more force you put on it, the tighter it gets the socket on the nut. i have never had it fail on me.

There is a tool as someone said to remove them, looks like an easy-out but designed to take off stripped or locking nuts.



Hammer method works well too.

yah i just had to do it today acutally at work lol some lady forgot her key back at home and home was 1500km away so she said screw it and just spend 30bux on a new locking key lug key,

did the 20mm socket and hammer it on and zip it off with the air gun, and then knock it out after with a punch and a hammer and a vice and just punch them out and do it 4 times. works greats and took like 10 mins to do.
