i lost the key for my lug nuts and i have extended studs.. also what doesnt help is that i forgot what lug nuts i have... =[ what can i do??







thanks hopefully i put this in the correct section

 

1. look everywhere harder

2. figure out what kind of lug nuts you have

3. order new key.

 

Go to a tire shop with new lug nuts and theyll replace them for you then dont loose the key.

 

u can acutally buy the tool, make sure it's extensive enough and that it's hexed and it's the correct size and u gonna be alright. hollaluya holla back.

lol i work at toyota and actually there are about 20+ different lug nut keys. (lexus shares these as well)

anyways. i think you are gonna have to find that key or figure out what lug nuts you have.

either that or find someone who might be able to take them off without damaging anything

 

that looks just like a regular deep socket 19, look like zenki lugs, try a deep socket

 

first of all thanks for all the help. Damn i am **** out of luck.. i am almost positive it fell out of the car at a 711 or some gas station because the last time i remember seeing it was like 3 weeks ago while i was organizing some tools and i probaly dropped it... but basically im S.O.L

this is plan B in case plan A fails


Plan C = ?? i dunno we shall see

 

use a deep socket and smash it over the lugnut, then back it out

 

it seriously just looks like it uses deep socket, i am almost guarenteed that it will work, if its not that size, keep trying others

 

weld a socket to it

weld a brain to your head.

this is what you need dude.

Yeah, no need to weld...

I wonder if a small pipe wrench would grab onto the extended flat spot ahead of the hex threads? Though I agree that it looks like any sufficiently-deep thin-walled socket of the correct size would pop those suckers right off. Doesn't seem like a particularly great set of security lugs.

Maybe this is why that guy asked yesterday about how to install extended lugs? Some false belief that deep thin-walled sockets are hard to find? Crackhead just has to hit a Wal-Mart before stealing your wheels.

 

alright well the size is 3/4 it is a thin wall. i found a key that fits it but the problem is that the socket will not fit a torque wrench but it fits a standard ratchet or socket wrench. haha so at least i narrowed it down to the size im going to the tire store tommorrow probably. thanks for all the help everyone

I've actually done this when it was known the key was lost on a s2k... we ended up losing 4 number 17's or somethin like that.. but it does work as a last resort..

did u really need to ask how to get a lug off that is a standard 6 piont socket come on man

 

go buy a tool call a damage nut remover. this tool removes damaged and rounded nuts and bolts. it looks like a regular socket on the outside but the inside has coarse reverse threads. they come in different sizes, so you gonna have to get one that is close to your wheel lugs. you use a regular rachet to turn the nut remover socket in a CCW direction (lefty loosie), the reverse threads will bite into the lug nut, and this will remove the lug nut.......

 

my frend went to a shop and got them tooken off with them machines
