wheel locks

[BigDanTheMan]

dudes -
where am i going to find a replacement for the lug nut lock key that i've apparently lost over the years? the lug locks i have work with this pattern that looks like a worm's path through an apple and the key fits the lug wrench socket and fits into the "path". does that description make sense?
at any rate it seems unique. would the local big o have a selection of adapters? how else could i get this bitches off?

is it a factory lug key that you need? if so the dealership might be able to get you one. if not, you could try some sockets and see if you can strip it off the wheel, not recommended but as a last resort.

Hammer and screw-driver. Then get new lug nuts.

hammer and screw driver?

...hold the screw driver on one of the "teeth" on the lock nut, then hammer it around to loosen it.

Or an AirJack would be faster

But I have had good luck with taking a hammer and hammering a socket over it to get wheelocks off.

so jam a flat head into the "apple worm path"

ps nice to see you all again.

tool trucks and auto parts stores carry large sockets with internal cone threads that are made for lugnut removal.
