well its been a few weeks since i have taken off my wheels and i cant find my socket key for my gorilla key lugnuts.... does anyone know of a way to get them off w/o the key itself? i have one on each wheel
i was thinkin about getting jbweld and 4 cheap sockets and just jbwelding the sockets to the wheel. what do you guys think? is there a better way?

hammer a socket on to the lug....
or go to a wheel/tire place and ask if they can help you out....
or buy another set of lugs that have the same key and return it after you are done.....

just find a socket thats a little too small (use craftsman)
bang it on there at least halfway down. when it breaks, bring it back to sears for a new one

you should of got a sticker that has a code on it for ordering a new one, i got a sticker with my gorilla set.
there are these craftsmen tools that are suppose to be able to remove stripped bolts, i was looking at it one day and it seemed that if u had the right one you could put it over wheel locks and cut them out.

dude just hammer a socket over the lock and put a breaker bar on the socket and take it off like you would any other bolt. its that easy! how do you think people steal wheels with locks?
