No lug nut wrench...help

Bracket_Racer · 12-17-2002, 07:46 PM

Bought my car used and went to get a tire changed and the locking lug nut socket/star is not there. There was no owners manual so I do not have the little card telling me what type to order....what do I do???? Break them :confused: Help would be appreciated.

Maybe you could go the dealer with your VIN- and they can "trace" the code for you. Seems doubtful though. Good luck . . .

Most larger dealerships have a set of master keys. Good luck.

If you're talking about the factory lug nuts, just hammer a smaller socket over it and break it loose or take it to a tire shop that can do it with an impact wrench. Wheels get stolen from cars with those factory keyed lug nuts all the time and they do nothing to slow down the theives. They just make it harder for owners.
