How can I remove the lug nut to remove the tire? Need Help. Thanks. Several years ago I bought a car which had locking lugs. Must have been from the factory as I recall the key was suppose to have been attached to a cable on the lug wrench but was missing. The guy at the tire store simply put a 4-way on the lug and then jumped on the wrench breaking off the entire stud. You might have to give this a try. Good Luck!
