go to the dealer, theyll have the lug key for u, though they may need to order it.
Yes you can buy the tool from the dealership only or find someone that has the same style.
Some times hammering on a socket that is a shade to small will do it. But faling that its a diamond tip drill bit.
well if you dont have the ket what we do at the tire shop is a hammer and chisel..... and sometimes a torch and hey how many of the people you know has had they wheels stole
Grindham has it pretty well knocked! Either find a socket that will be just a bit too small and drive it onto the nut and use steady force on a flex-handle (nothing sudden or jerky), or find a buddy that has a welder, and weld a regular nut onto the security nut, then use a regular wrench.
If you have to have the car in a hurry, Call some of you local towing companies and explain the situation. They might be able to help you for a small fee
if it has the out side teath on the nut use an impact socket that almost fits but is too tight and hammer it on then use an impact wrench or a breaker bar as the lesser option and try removing it. impact sockets handle more presure and will be safer for you. spray a good break away fluid only at the base where the wheel nut meets the rim satay away fron where the socket will be on. good luck
there might be the correct socket in the glove box or with the spare tire tools in the trunk
