Did something really stupid!

[atrainsgt]

Somehow over the last couple months I have mis placed my lug nut tool! So now I can't take my wheels off! My lug nuts look something like these so I think they are somewhat popular.

Anyone know where I can buy just the adapter thing? Thanks :knuppel2:

for what i can see its a gorilla lock/lugnut right? if it is you can only get it from Gorilla directly.


and in order to get a new tool you may have to provide certain numbers that came with the lock/lugnut set.

Thats not going to be easy. They were on the car a year ago when I bought it... I'm going to do a massive search in the garage tonight in hopes of finding it. I will take some pics of the lug nuts for you guys tonight also.

did you not put the sticker on the glove box as stated on the instructions?

 

[atrainsgt]

I did not put these on! They were already on the car when I bought it so I have no stickers or manual!

 

[Javi]

look on the glove box the previous owner may have done it,its a silver sticker about 2x2 with black lettering on it

I did not put these on!

My mistake :slap:

just have a tire shop break them off and put standard ones.... Wheels shops have to do it all the time

You could always go to Autozone or AAP and just buy a set of the same size lugs. Those come with the tool. I had to buy a set when I bought my FR's.

have you tried those stupid things from canadian tire (or something similar in the states..?)
its supposedly for stripped bolts.. just push it down and it forms to the bolt by pushing up little metal studs. very horrible explanation but you might know what i'm talnking about... haha

i you dont have to break them to a tire shop just find some sockets that fit the lug tight and then turn them with the Ratchet.


You may have to get another sockets the same size to do the rest just in case the first socket get messed up and cant do the rest

That how thefts do it now days :thumb:

make sure its so tight you damn near gotta hammer it on, and use a good sized ratchet... GOOD LUCK. if you take it to the tire shop, chances are they are gunna do the same thing and will charge you for every tool they break :hammer:

Nah, I had the tire shop take mine off. They were a pain in the ass, and I had no tool (bought the car with them on). Mine was like, a backwards lug nut, You stuck the tool inside the lugnut, and it gripped the inside edges. Anyway, the tire shop stuck like this two pronged tool in the lug nut, and tightened it really tight, then it turned like an air rachet and it came right off.

I do know what you are talking about, those might work. Thanks for the suggestions guys I will figure something out. I feel like an idiot :hammer:

just take it to a good shop they will take it off.
chances are they will have a similar key and will be able
to take it off.
