I have missed placed the OEM Ford key to this locking lug. Anyone got suggestions how to remove this lug without the key. Apparently while I was changing the oil one of my small son's walked away with the lug key.lol

With the original Turbine wheels, Vise_Grips can be used to remove the locking lug nut. That's true only if if you can get the center cap off...

If you have an air chisel with the pointed bit you can give the nut a couple of wacks around the edge to get it to move a little. It's not hard to do.

Or hammer a slightly large-fitting sacrificial socket onto the locking lug nut. You'll probably damage the locking lug and the socket, but in a pinch...............

Ok would the procedure differ if the stuck locking lug is on a pony wheel?
