What's the steps to get a lug key (Stock 03 Ford key). I have CCW's and don't want to take a chance at beating a socket onto them. I'm going to take the lugs off and toss them in the trash.
Lost lug key

is it the 6 spline lock? I bought a car 2 weeks ago that didn't come with the key. Just about an hour ago I ordered one from American Muscle for 6.99. I'm hoping it works. Its the 6 spline key and 4 locking lug nuts. I only need the key but they don't sell It separately.
Pray you get lucky. I have a few terminator friends who had their stock keys, none of them worked for my lugs. It's identical to one of these:

oh, yeah mine are different. those aren't 6 spline. Look more like Mcgard
They were all different. If you had the key number then you might have been able to re-order a key. I have my key number written down in like 5 different places just in case the key is lost.

Pretty sure I have that key but id want it back. I could mail it to you if youd could just send it back after use.
I had this issue when I bought the Mystichrome Coupe. I drove to my local Ford dealer, they used their master set to figure out which was my key--and ordered me one. Took a couple of weeks to get, but no sweat!
Why not bang a socket...its not like you need to really kill it when hitting with hammer..
they do make a tool thats rounded inside of socket for this reason...to remove without damage

I bought some removers from Sears for an old parts Mustang we have. They worked like a charm and didn't even damage the locks.
Craftsman "Lug Out"
This is what you need

I too used the Craftsman "Lug Out" and it worked perfect. I think I put the lug out over the lug nut, put a doubled up rag over the lug out and then held it all with one hand and then hammered in on. Don't really have to go to town on it, just a few good love taps.
Good luck, I stopped by 2 ford dealers that had master sets and they weren't able to match them up. I also stopped by a couple local tires shops that had a box of miscellaneous keys they had accumulated over the years. No luck though.
I ended up just paying to get them pulled off. I got charged 10 bucks for each lug nut.
