go to the store and buy a 20mm deep socket. hammer it on the locked nut, and take it off. It will ruin all of it, but its the only cheap quick fix.

Exactly what he said...i had to do the same a couple years back.

3/4" socket also works. Had to do that on mine. Be ready to lose the socket too. Not saying the socket won't eventually come off, but there is a chance you can break the socket too. Good luck.

I've taken a grinder and made a hex on the old lug-nut(if it is round) and was able to get them off.

I am guessing that was when the lug-nut was off?

had the same problem, turned ugly. Had to take it to a place to get it drilled out. The stud was stripped. Had to get a new stud, boo

no, when it was on, wrapped the rest of the wheel with a blanket and ground away. I have done just two sides as well and got a wrench on as well. edit: I was a dumbass for even suggesting this for the way the lug-nut is recessed into the wheel. It has been on pickups and flat faced wheels where the entire lug is exposed :bash: :bash:

THIS is how you fix it .... Go to Sears. Craftsman has a set of sockets called "BACK OUT" or "BOLT OUT" or somethign like that. They are set up to grab the stripped lug, etc and back it right out. My locking did the same thing. I tried for 3 days differeing ideas. This was the only thing that worked for me.

youll be cuttin on that thing for hours. and not to mention how skilled you have to be to make a perfect hex and not screw up you rim.

yeah they do make a kit for pain in the ass lugnuts that people round off and cant get off.

Sonicboost you probably wont have much use of it after you get that one nut off. What i did is went up to a local shop and asked the guy if I could borrow his kit. he was nice enough to let me use it and bring it back. try that and save your money.

 

[fuelonempty]

the Ford dealer can fix it. If you dont wanna bother.

 

[svtfocus2cobra]

Same thing happened to me, took it to the nearest tire shop and they nocked it off.

don't have to do it all the way down, its no big feat to do, and only took about 15-20 min max to do, second time I just did two sides and used a end wrench to get it started loose. I will say I was a dumbass for suggesting this method on these wheels. When I was doing it they were flat faced wheels where the lugs weren't recessed.

if its the stock ones just take the car over to ford really quick and have them take it off. then order you a new wheel lock. They have the master set of keys to every set of locks they make. To be truthfull there are only 14 different keys.
