I have locking lugs and some how the freaking key vanished I was told by the guys at advance i could use a socket i don't like and smack it on the lug to take it off. Anybody have any other methods?

When I lost mine I went to Discount tire & they had a lug nut easy out thingy that fit over the locking lug nut & when twisted bit into the lug nut, came right off.
whats a factory ford one look like? these were on the car when i bought it from another guy so i have no idea. I heard there is a Unversal one but the guy were i take my car for inspection said he broke his. Gonna try the socket idea guess i'll find out if it works
I took a pic of the one of mine maybe someone can tell is its ford or maybe someone has one they can mail me so i can get mine off then i'll mail it back

put a cutoff wheel on a dremel and cut flats on two sides of the lugnut then you can vise grip or wrench it off.
My bud jsut did the same thing and he found that the best method for him was the socket method. Use a craftmsan, they'll give you a new one after.

you could always have someone weld a nut onto them too.

I was told that if i get bolts welded on it would **** up my rims so i ain't doing that. I'm just gonna take the car off the jackstands and take it to a place to get them taken off then buy new ones
