Default Re: 5 spline wheel lugs and socket

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: njsteve</div><div class="ubbcode-body">They make locking lugnut removal sets. I had to buy one from Snap on when we got our 2001 Trans Am and the seller lost the unique lugnut. You pound the socket on and then use an impact gun. The rod is used to knock the lugnut out of the socket when you are done.

I'm an old tire guy and I concur with NJSteve I just bought a 2000 Formula Ram Air with locks and no key and I used tool shown in link it worked great but does ruin the locks/lugs worst part of the job was getting the old lock out of the tool! I used to use regular impact sockets but that was before those tools were made. You may try local tires store. Kind of a jack arse move having lugs like that and loosing the key - may be why he sold it [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
