Default Wheel lock nuts

Hi there. Wondering if any one has an online address to get a jeep ocking wheel nut removal tool. My studs on mine have broken and I don't really want to drill mine off unless I have to to got a new Mopar type nut kit to fit. Mine is an original Jeep tool with three studs on it. Jeep can't or won't sell me the tool over here in UK just the new type. If you know of anywhere would save me a hell of a lot of hair pulling. Mine is 2001 grand CherokeeThanks.

Any garage or wheel shop should have a tool to remove all locking lug nuts,It will break the lug nut so you will have to replace them but most locking ones are kinda useless in this day and age.

Available from SnapOn, Matco, Walmart, etc. I have used the right size socket and hammered over the lock, soak locks well with penetrating oil:

Did you see the wheel lug lock removal kit at the MAC Tools link? Just use the sesrch terms lug lock removal tool. But some vendor will screen the customer trying to detect fraud, some companies control this tool, they get by this by calling the tool a stripped lug nut removal tool, the lock part is left out. There are less expensive kits on line, SnapOn, Mac Tools, Matco, Cronwell are professional grade commercial tools.

Also like I tried to tell you a socket smaller than the circumference of the lock can be hammered over the lock, most of times that works.
