Spare Tire, How do I remove?

[Bpar73]

I have a 1995 Isuzu Rodeo, and I need to take my spare tire off the back tailgate, but I don't have the proper wrench to get it off. There are 2 lug nuts and one weird looking nut that must require a special tool. How and where do I get one of those?

Someone must have installed a wheel lock lug nut. You can search around ebay or automotive stores for something similar, but your best bet is to cut the locking lug nut off with a dremel tool, or similar.

Thanks for the tip. I've borrowed someone's wheel lock key tool. It looks like it will work. I'm hoping they're universal. thanks again.
