They make a socket that is for locking lugs to remove them. It has teeth on it and you pound it on and screw it off. Im sure a place that changes tires will have one. Thats where I got the one for my car when I lost the tool.

Is that similar to Lisle's stripped nut remover? If so, I have those from my X-Pipe project but I don't know if the large one would be big enough. I'll let you guys know what happens. Thanks for the input.

I have no idea. I went to a local shop and borrowed mine. Didnt charge me a dime and I brought it back in like 20 min. Try Auto Zone(?) or Advance, which ever one lets you borrow tools. they may have one. The inside of the socket looks like a screw. I feel dumb though as I took all mine off and then a week later had my car detailed and the guy found the lock tool under the seat!!!! GOSH.....Freakin Idiot!!!

I had the same problem. Any Ford dealership has the master set. DO not go fuc**ng up your rims or sockets or anything. GO TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TAKE IT OFF. They can tell you what the key # is and you can get a new one from McGuard's (The company hat makes them for Ford) for like $15. Or just take them off any buy new lugs or locks from a parts store. DO NOT START HACKING AWAY AT YOUR WHEEL LOCKS. I assure you the dealer has the master set.
