Broken lug safety key
Broken lug safety key
So this weekend I was taking off my summers and got through 2 tires and then my safety key breaks. What a piece of ****! It wasn't over tourqed when they were put on and it broke on the inside of the key. I can find the serial # for the safety key and it's not attached to my VIN.
What kind of options do I have to take off the other 2 wheels?

you have to take 20mm wrench head from the set, put it on the lug and strike with the hammer on it, after that you can screw it with the ratchet, thats help me when I broke my key.
Are they OEM wheel locks? If so... the dealer may have a "master key" that can remove the wheel lock. I remember when a wheel lock was lost on a previous car... the dealer told me they could get it off without any problems.
Well it looks like you are gonna need to do what Lukelis said. Get a socket that's one size too small... and force it on. Then take it off like a normal lug nut. Even tho your wheel lock is round... by forcing the socket on... it'll deform the lug and cause it to mesh with socket.

I can't hear the audio for this right now... but it looks like this video is showing the proper procedure...
