how do you remove the locking lugnuts to remove the tire if the key piece is lost?

See my profile,

4 ways I know :

1) Buy new key

2) Go to large, reputable tire place, see if they have that key--to use

3) Same as above, except some places have SORTA left-hand theaded socket dealee, Kinda the exact opposite, or reverse of an EZ-out (but female)

4) Same deal as above, but order your own (does buggar up your nuts)

Saw a man chisel 'em off of his (may bend studs, break fingers) Last resort!

Saw another feller, cut his 180 degrees apart, with a dremal tool, then finished up, by driving a chisel in his "splits" to beak it off of the studs!

When you get them off, throw them out across the woods, and use standard ones back on !

Let me know how you fared!

Love, Turddog
