CRAP, I lost my lugnet key and dont know what to do.
****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Two days ago I was sanding down my calipers & repainted them bc they were completing down to metal, all the paint & clear had fallen off.
Well, this morning all of a sudden while I was in the shower, it hit me. I did not remember what I did with that locking lug nut key 2 days previous. I went to work & as soon as I got home I looked EVERYWHERE. I have torn my garage apart, even took out the spare tire trying to find this & I had left the little bag with the lug wrench sitting on top of the carpet in the trunk... so I deff didnt put the key back in there. Checked inside my car and nothing.
I am pretty sure that I must have driven off with the key still on and it flew off down the road. So I walked up the road & still didnt see it. I will try again tomorrow & walk farther down the road...but what am I to do now? I bought my car from a Chrysler dealership used, and when I first bought it, I found a bag in the glove box with my 4 stock lug nuts, and the bag was labeled, "MOPAR Chrsyler"... so I figured i'd go to Chrysler first thing...
This is kind of an emergency because im getting my clutch put in possibly on Friday!

You might be able to use a breaker bar and them? Don't use a torque wrench to do anything but torque stuff within it's limits. If anything call a local shop and find out if they have those removers, if not buy them from sears go there let them use their impacts to take them off and return the sockets

Wow, they raped that guy. Had a guy come in about a week ago and it took me 10 minutes to get the wheel locks off. That is including finding the tool and driving the car in the bay.

If they are the lugs that came with the car than more than likely they are made by a company called McGard or something like that.I had to reorder a key from them.It cost about $27 shipped for 2 keys.You will need the card that came with the car that has the type of lug that was used for you car from the factory so that the company can match it up with the correct key.Or you can take a pic and send it to them Via e-mail and they can try to match it up.
