Was changing my wheels to the winter set, one wheel left & the f@cking key broke in the lug!!!!!!!! Im bringing a torque wrench next time I go to Evans lol

I was able to get all the pieces out, and the lug nut itself is fine but I have no way of getting the back wheel off now. So Im stuick with 16" winter wheels up front & my 17" rotas in the back. At least they are all the same color I guess.
I dont want to have to weld on a nut or destroy the lug because the rest are all fine.

Where can I get a new key? Its the OEM Honda/ McGard star pattern, Im sure there is more than one star pattern though.

 

any method besides getting another key, will destroy the lug. such as hammering on a socket.

 

stop by and see me sometime I might have something for you.

 

oooh sounds like fun

Yeah Ill give you a call

 

Or stop by me, got special tool to take it off no damage to wheel or lug. not even a scratch.

 

Or go to Sears. They sell a universal lug nut remover. It works so well it makes you wonder why we bother with lug nut locks.

 

Bill can you bring that tool with you to red mango tomorrow?
What size socket does it take? 19mm?

Ill just take off the remaining lock nuts & replace with my extra normal nuts until I can get my own key. Ill bring my breaker bar & sockets. Should only take a few minutes.

 

Ray, does the sears socket have teeth? Mine has no teeth at all. Works with taper.

 

you could call mcgard and they will send you a new key..

 

I sent them an email last night , they just replied with a name & phone #
