unless you have specialized rubber inserted adapter tools for your rachet you wont get it off. chances are its to tight.

factory lock lugs? if they are honda should have a lock set kit and could remove em for free. if not have seen people hammer sockets over them and crack em loose with a socket wrench and pry bar.

worth a shot.

Car is not mobile, looks like you need to do this:

Get 4 1/2" sockets (17mm, 19mm, whatever fits ONE SIZE SMALLER), place it on centre and hammer the socket in, and deep.

Use a breaker bar, and in one swift motion, apply torque and loosen it.

If you can get the lock out of the socket, you just saved yourself a new socket (and you can return it). Repeat it 4 times, and never lose another lock key again.

I think everyone in their day has lost theres....I know I have...


I just went to CT, bought a set of mcguards, put the new locknut key over my locknut, turned it untill I heard a LITTLE tiny click, then got a hammer, and hammered that fcuked in there. I did this 4 times untill all of them were off.

I had one locknut so tight inside of the key, that I had to heat it up and hammer the **** outta the key to get the locknut out. After I was done, I simply returned the damaged goods back to CT for a full refund. They didn't look at the bent to **** locknut key tho

Take an air hammer, and hit it until you notch it, and walk the thing off. It's easy, done it on 8 lugs now.
