Status: offline Well I was changing my wheels on my car today and the lug nut key stripped on the last wheel. the lug itself is fine, but the key is shot. How can I go about to getting the nut off without my key? Tire shop??? Ford dealer???

Status: offline 1. go get another key

2. hammer a socket that is a little too small onto the lug nut, and unscrew (will more than likely ruin the socket...)

3. push car off cliff (j/k about #3 )
