Default Locking lug nuts.

Short and simple. PO put a locking lug nut on each rim and lost the tool to remove them. I want to get rid of the locking ones so if I have a flat I can fix it myself.

Any way to get these things off without the proper tool?


Thanks.

I think SnapOn makes a tool for that.

Those tools are pretty universal, if you go to a tire shop, they should be able to get them off for you.

Just about any shop or tool supplier can get you a tool to remove these pita nuts! (Not much of a theft deturrent if anyone can get the tool!!)

Lol, yeah, true. Thanks for the info. I figured there had to be SOME way of getting em off w/out the tool.

I hate those things. I understand if you live in a high crime area or pay a LOT of money for your wheels/tires but what a hassle. I am just hoping I don't get a flat before I can get my hands on a tool to get em off, or get to the tire shop.
