Locking lug nut removal----Resolved--
I went to remove the right rear lug nuts to remove the wheel and check for a noise in the rear suspension and I was unable to remove the locking lug nut. The previous owner had new tires installed just before I bought it. Apparently the bonehead installer used an impact gun. The lug nut key wont hold onto the lug nut. I was able to get one of the four off. So im three in the hole. Does anyone know of a tool or method to remove these stupid things. Dont say vise grips becuase I thought of that and it looks like they would chew up my factory wheels. Thanks in advance.
