HELP!! Locking Lug Nut Stripped !!

[1SCOOT]

So it seems the last facility to remove my tires actually stripped out the locking lug nut so that the key will no longer work to remove it :mj:
Anyone have any recommendations or ideas on how I can get this thing off :shrug:

Thanks

take a socket that is slightly larger than the outside diameter of the lugnut and hammer it on. then use an impact to get it off.

And buy 4 new lugs. Those locks don't do anything but break.

or buy a thieving kit and get them off that way, they use them at discount tire if you dont want to mess up a socket

Craftsman sells a set of sockets that you use on stripped bolts. It worked on one of my wife's exhaust manifold bolts. :burnout:

Both Snapon and Matco sell kits for removing locking lug nuts.

Isn't that always the way things are? Spend a fortune on an alarm and it still can be stolen.

I'm going to get rid of my locking lub nut just because I'm afraid the key will disapear.

Yeah mine have been long gone. They don't do anything and you're faucked if they key breaks or you lose it.

If you have the key code (mine was on the envelope the key originally came with), you can order another. I've had to do that in the past and McGard was very helpful and very fast. If you're that paranoid about losing your key, I'd suggest ording a second key to keep in your toolbox. As I remember it was only about $12 for a replacement.

Oh yeah. Been there and done that. My locknut broke when I was trying to replace my brakepads and they were down to the metal. Ended up taking the car to tire kingdom and had them pull all of the locknuts off and replaced them with 4 regulars.
