o'reilly auto parts

i spoke with a tire/rim dealer yesterday and he said it was going to be a pia in getting a replacement key. he had extractors there that he bought at sears. so thats why i went to sears. they would never fit in the opening on the wheel. this link above has a set of deep wel and it looks like it might work. headed to lowes today.....

I hammer on 12 point sockets in them, I have never failed to get them off.....

might have to try that.... thanks for the tip

heres one off the back that i took off before winter hit.

went to lowes in florence today they didnt have any kind of bolt extractors at all........... wt heck

hey riggs u can always take the cover off the rearend and take the axles out and grind or drill out the lug nut from the inside. mite b more work.. but ul save your high dollar gold chainer wheels..who knows it mite work

yeah it might work but the mentioned wheels are on the front....

damn that sucks !!!!

Hey Riggs
If you go to Fastenal they will order them. That's where I got mine

They have a cheapy set at Harbor Frieght.

If you can get a socket on the nut tighten it with an impact wrench until you break the lug stud. Then just replace the broken stud.

Damn all this for a stuck lug nut? Put a pointy bit on the air chisel, split it and blast the thing off. Done!

I'm almost ready to sneak over there while he's at work.

Lets do it!

hell i'll give you the garage code to get in... i was able to take off the wheel with rotor off. i thought the wheel was all one piece but the center cap was just a piece of plastic. so off it came, fault with the caliper coming off thankfull those high dollar gold chainer schmuck wheels had a wide enough opening for the caliper to slip completly off. i did manage to get 2 of the 5 lug nuts off. NO i wasnt able to get the lock nut off yet. going to borrow a air chiesel and see if that will work like blue eyed devil and rebstew mentioned...

I need to stop over this weekend to get that stuff. I'll see what I can do with it if you want to wait for me.

id like to slap the schmuck that put these lug nuts on these wheels. besides the locking lug. ive been having issues just with the regular lug nuts.... i dont have a high dollar impact gun so maybe thats the issue..

i'm going to attempt to mess with it tomorrow stewart, i have to drop off and pick up the kids from school so being down a vehicle is a pia.... who would have thought just getting off a wheel would be such a pain... very thankfully that it is in the garage and not stranded 100 miles away from home.

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE.

i now have a seperated rotor from wheel and no more high dollar locking lug on driver side wheel.... wheel rotor and caliper will go back on tomorrow, just not in that order

then to tackle the passenger side, i think ill take it to michel tire in erlanger and have him do his majic....

Put new brake pads and a new caliper in driver side had troubles with passenger side locking nut. I bought an ingersol ran impact gun beat on socket and it finially came off
