Default 98 Mustang GT Lugnut Key

When I bought my car it didn't come with a lugnut key and now I have a flat tire. The lugnut is a Gorilla 1/2 X 20, I called my local Ford dealership and they couldnt help me out, I called a couple of autoshops and they couldnt help me either. Does anyone know where I can order these?

I am not sure where you could order 1 but try looking in a junkyard.
I have noticed them usually in the trunk or glove compartment.

Try giving McGuard a call. There phone number is 716-662-8980. If that doesn't work then you can go to you local Ford service dept. and they should have a master kit that would be able to take them off.

Yes you can do that also. Whatever works. Once you get the lock off you can go to Discount or Autozone and get a new kit.

Don't see how Ford would have a master key for something that's not theirs. Gorillaz is it's own company. As stated before, just get a socket that fit on the lock snuggly and work it off.

Well the locks for Ford are made by McGuard. At the Dealership I work at here in Florida we have a master set. What we do is go out there with the set get the number off of it and then call McGuard and order one for the customer. Or we take them off and the customer goes and gets there own set.

i have done this myself but take a socket you don't want make shure it tight like maybe a 3/4 socket and take a hammer and force it on then turn the socket with a rachet should come off through it away and for 20 bucks get a new set for all 4 wheels
