Default Lug nuts!

A year ago my father did me a favor and got my Monte inspected for me while I was out of town. He forgot my lug nut wheel key at the maintenance shop. I, not realizing this until months later, am unable to remove my wheels. Can anyone recommend any type of removal tool?

What wheels do you have? stock? When I bought mine I didn't get the key for mine, just pounded a 13/16 or 7/8 socket on them and broke them free. If theyre stock style you dont have to go too far , just enough to get them broke loose.

Hi Mark,
Most tires shops will be able to break the lock.
But there is several ways to do it.
Check the below link to explore others that have done
the same thing. Several suggestion.
My friend has done it like Member Sideways , but it worked.
Are your rims factory ?
Good Luck

Didn't you save the serial # when you got them? Did you TRY to see if the tire shop MIGHT still have it? I'm guessing they do.
