over tight wheel lock.... help

[04redfireRO]

ok ...i had the car inspected a few months ago and the idiots at that shop used a torque gun on my lugs:bash: (just realized today)so i got around and i loosened all off them but ONE and,just my luck,is a wheel lock:fm:.the lock tool is ok and still works on the other ones but the wheel lock is damaged(rounded) and is no way the key can grab to it.
so do you guys have an advice on how to get it loose?thanks

dang...hmm...I always use an impact but I only tap the wheel lock lug...subscribing...

Any decent tire shop in the area should have tools to remove rounded/stripped lug nuts. I would take it somewhere or try to by a tool for it.

Something to this effect: http://cgi.ebay.com.my/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230314465463

if that doesnt work get a 12 point 3/4" socket or 11/16th (cant remember) pound it on with a extension and break tq....good luck getting the socket back off without a vice

x2 or get a set of extactors that are made for rounded off nuts/bolts.

I used a 19mm 12pt to remove one of my broken wheel locks last year. Pound it on with a hammer and it should do the trick.

Remove the locks and install regular lug nuts once you get them off.

thanks a lot guys...i will try with the 12pt socket and see.i will let you know if it worked!!

that's what's going to happen when people don't give a s**t about other people's stuff.

i will probably get all the locks off and use regular lug nuts
