Lugnut key.

[Soup Nazi]

Someone stole my locking lugnut key. Is there anyway for me to get off the lugs without breaking them?

[Sileighty_85]

Breaking = No
Damage = Yes

If you have access to the whole lug cut a notch in the lug and use an Air hammer with a chisel bit

Just be carful once it loosens don't lean in to it or you'll hit the rim once it breaks free

[DMaxUSA]

what type of lock do you have? Most tire/wheel shops have a wheel lock removal/breaker kit, but beware!!! they can damage your wheel in the process

[Soup Nazi]

Im not sure what kind of lock it is. These lugs where on the car when i bought them. The lock has thin lines on the inside that slip onto the lugs. And my Rim are already hacked so it dont care if they scratch the rims.

if you don't want them lugnuts anymore, you can use any kind of key that would fit inside the lug, and weld crap all around it and take it off. or you could buy the same lugs =)

Take a 6 point socket that's too small to go over the lug nut and hammer it on. It'll stick pretty good obviously and allow you to back the lug nut right out.

If you're a cheap ass use Craftsman sockets and then return them under the lifetime warranty once the nut's stuck inside. (:

Thanks, i got some off already using, the too small socket approach.

if you take one into any shop that sells lug nuts, they should be able to order you a new key.

also lugs usually come with a sticker that says what key you need if you ever have to order a new one. you might find it in the glove box.

I highly recommend taking one of the lugs you already got off to a wheel shop, because they can almost always tell you instantly what kind of lug it is and where to get a key for it.

First you should check Kragen/Autozone/Pep Boys though, that's where you'll most likely find it, 'cause 240 owners are cheap.

tire shops have a socket to break off lug nuts

[TheHustleHouse]

sounds like Muteki lug nuts with the splines inside. Google muteki replacement key, i know they sell them because i broke like 6 of them when i had em on my coupe. If it is then u should be good!

[Soup Nazi]

Thanks everyone for the help. I checked the lugs and they are Muteki lugnuts. So i will try and buy a replacement key....

[Kougeki]

A lot of wheel shops have the 6 spline key for those lug nuts.
Probably run you around 5 or 6 bucks

[spoolandslide]

ive seen people heat up the lugs with a blowtorch and then hammer on the appropriate sized socket, then you just thread em off

its a fairly simple method

or you can just buy a new set of the same lug nuts with the key

[gpeele]

GSXRJJordan got it right, autozone sells knockoff muteki lug nuts with the key you need, just bought some the other day since my key is playing hide and seek with me.
