Just as the title states I was installing locking lug nuts on my truck and the key broke!!! The lug nut isn't on tight but tight enuff to drive home from school! But I need help ASAP beccuse my dad is on a trip for work untill tomorow night and I want to fix it before he gets home for obvious reasons!
Thanks Cody :censore

this is why i dont use locking lug nuts. take a socket that is just a hair bigger than one that will fit in there. hold it there and hammer the **** out of it to get it stuck in it. the attach a wrench to the socket and take off. you will ruin the socket doing this, but only easy way. pair of vice-grips might work since you said it isnt on that tight.

go with spline lugs and you will never have that happen again.good luck getting that off...do it like milredneck told you.

If I can't get it off I will be taking a trip to my dads dealership and hope they can take care of it and not tell him lol.

The trick of pounding on a socket works well. You may need to use a metric socket to find the right size.

I have had success with vice grips, but you have to put some muscle behind it when clamping them down.

After school today I am going to stop by sears and pick this up!!

damn thats expensive! i would try bangin a regular socket on it/vice grips before i bought that.

I was going to get that for a back up plan beccuse a shop will charge upwords of $100 for this task. And odds are I will need it agin.
