got a question.....need help...special lug nut

while I was at Ralph's yesterday. I was taking off my tires...but I need a special key to get my one lug nut off....well I guess being huurred to get home...I left it on the lug nut...so it came off on my drive home
damn it I am stupid.

is there way to get it off....does anybody have one of those special keys...or are they all different?

I just thought about this and this woke me up at 5:00a

yea there are a few tricks. Get either an easy out socket and a hammer and beat the easy-out socket onto the lock. Or you can use a regular socket and do the same thing. Just don't ask where I learned all this.

ETA after this you are going to need new locks.

Hey, aren't you the guy with "used" wheels for sale?

ok thanks...

I've used vice grips to get 'em off before. Just clamp the vice grips on good and tight and then use a piece of pipe or the round end of a big wrench on the end of the vice grips for extra leverage.

To answer your question about the locks, I believe there are 4 or 5 versions of the Nissan wheel locks, each requiring their own key.

I have lost my wheel lock key twice already and had to send money to McGard, with my wheel key number(on a registration card I have), and get a replacement lock key socket.

After losing my key, I had a tire shop remove the locks. They did the easy out trick as described by far west X. After they were removed, I installed regular lug nuts. If someone steals my POS factory wheels, so be it, I have insurance.
