Default So i have 20 locking lugnuts and no key

When i swaped the rear ends yesterday i think i left the key on one of the lugnuts and went for a test drive So now i have 20 gorilla locking lugnuts and no key. Any ideas how i can get them off? Or get a replacment key? What sucks is, i do not have a key lock sticker or anything

I've always heard that a good tire store will have a set of locking lug nut removers. They are a reverse screw kinda socket that goes on an impact.

Might give Gorilla a call and get some more ideas.

Post back when you find out.

take a 3/4 or 13/16 12 point deep well 1/2" drive socket and hammer over the lugs. then take a 1/2" drive breaker bar and loosen them up one or two turns. then before removing lug off stud, wiggle the socket off the lug. do this 20 times and you're done. a 10lb hammer works best. if you use the chrome sockets, you might split one. get a couple cheapies to get it done. ran a tire wheel shop. had to do it this way many times.

WTF do you have 20 locks. Why not 4 locks and 16 lugs?

Thats the way the gorillia lugs are. Instead of having one lock per wheel, all the lugs need the key to remove.
