HELP. lug nut key stuck on lug nut
Okay, so i was switching over to my summer tires and in the process of loosening my rear tires, the lug nut key snapped. cheap piece of crap. Either way, any ideas how to get it out, i don't have a welder.

take the rest of the lugs off using a breaker bar. if you have a welding machine around you can weld something to the back of the key thats stuck in there and take the piece out OR drill into it and use a self tapping screw to take that piece out.

op, what ever you do, don't do this,

get a drill and drill as much of it out, and then use a allen key to get it out. ether that or get a cheap 12 point socket just big enough (more like snug) and hammer it on to that lug nut and take it off like that.

i have to say though, at least my key broke on my first back tire swap, so now my fronts are on yokohamas and backs on winter tires, my axle will still be all good
