lug nuts...

[TheCluelessDood]

i just bought a sho a couple days ago and it needs new brakes. the only problem is that the car has a lug that needs a key on each rim and the key did not come with the car. what other ways can i get the lug off?

1. Big ass Vise Grips (TM)
2. A chisel
3. The lug key

Did you check on the tie iron in the trunk? And all around in the spare tire area. Can you call the person or place where you got it and ask where it is?

I'd also suggest trying a few of your local tire stores, e.g., Discount Tire, whatever, as they'll sometimes have lug keys lying about waiting for something to do.

In any case they'll often have suggestions on how to remove the key lug. They have to deal with lost keys a lot.
