I need help. I was trying to take my rims off to put the stock 14" tires on because I need to refurbish some of the rims. I kinda broke the key that takes my lugs off. So I went to Advance Auto Parts and the guy told me I needed to buy a deep socket. I don't think the guy knew what he was talking about... I don't have stock lugs. My neighbor said something about grided or gorilla lugs... I'm not sure. But the point is, I have two problems.

I need to know where I can find anohter key to take off / put on the lugs. Anyone know where I can find one and the specific name for these?

AND

If you look at the last pic, you'll notice the broken piece got stuck around the lug. Any ideas on how to remove this?

Thanks.

try a 15mm 12pt deep socket. Worked for me to get some lugs like that of my GT when I first bought it (the douche didn't give me the key). Also, buy it from Sears (Craftsman), just in case it breaks, you can get a replacement for free and keep trying wink.gif

for the broken key part on the lug...try needle nose vise grips, should work just fine.
