Hey gang...
Going off the beaten path here that someone may have gone down this road. I just got this car but don't have the lug nut key for this lock nut........... I'm running out of ideas on how to get the bloody thing off....... Any suggestions?
I haven't been able to find this particular set of lug nut locks online...

Pound a snug fitting (beater) chrome 12 point deep well socket on it.

Looks like the locks they used to sell at the local parts stores back in the day... I may even have a set sitting in the garage yet. I usually do the air chisel route myself.

All you need: The pins will likely slide in far enough to get to the cuts in the nuts.
