Default ?Locking Lug Removal?

ok..heres the situation....I have somehow misplaced the Key for my MUGEN lock lugs(1 on ea rim of course) .I ordered a New key from King motorsports which they said would take 3 weeks from japan--its been over a mth and 1/2 and they haven't even debited my account.

Anyone know if a Auto parts place sells a Lock lug removal Lug???Special Tool.
I gotta get these off so I can send a buyer 2 of my rims???

Freon, NOS or liquid nitrogen/oxygen and a hammer?

Check with wheel/tire installation places.

Use a socket a tad smaller than your lug, &lt;ie, 18mm for 19mm lugs&gt; or some socket in fractions. Bang it in to your lugs with a hammer then turn it.

Thats exactly what I'm looking for!

now,..do I have to use a Impact gun or would it work w/ PURE POWER from my 18" Pythons??


I tried a Key that wasn't mine and it barley fit and when I went to spin it,..it slipped!

Are all Mugen lock keys the same? If so, I may be willing to borrow out mine.

well,.there are a few codes they use,..you have to get down on the Lock lug itself and read a LITTLE TINY letter and number on there.(I think mines P 17)
If you have the same one by chance I will pay you to use it and send it back to you.I will then replace my lugs all together w/ Zenki's or somethoing like that.

lemme know if you know your code.

Not sure what size the mugen lug nuts are but I have taken other lock nuts off with a gator grip tool. Does noit damage the lock nut either.
