Default a key for my rims??
i just recently purchased a 94 civic. a tire has gone flat and when i went to take off the tires i noticed that i needed a particular key for one of the lug nuts. i tried auto zone and the part i bought didnt help me get it off. if anyone can say anything that can help it would be useful.

im new to the tuner scene, i live in NN, and i want to become part of it.

so any shove in the right direction will be great.

tack weld a regular nut onto it and then get the socket that matches that nut, and then get it off that way, then go buy a new (nonlocking ) nut

or just take a socket that's a little bit smaller than the lugnut and hammer it on.

You can just go to sears and get their "easy out" set and it should pull it off... but it will ruin it so you would have to get a non lock nut
