i bought my 2017 used and i cant find a lug nut key to take off the "locking" lug nuts, is this a factory lug nut and any other place where i could get a lug nut key to remove them, or best bet to contact dealer
google it, you can get a socket that is just a little to small and hammer it on, then take it off. I have done it many times. The socket will not be usable again because you will never get that locking lugnut out. Not sure what type of lock that is but I have done it on many types. Usually buy 4 sockets and throw them out. I do not recall what size, but I think its dependent on the lock.
If you bought it from a dealer take it in and have them remove them. It was probably throw out when the cleaned it. Make sure you check under the passenger seat in case its with the jack stuff
Most any decent tire store will have a tool to get them off, then just replace them with new. No way to get a new key without the original code that came with the locks.
... or a limited use, similar but not as robust tool, through a variety of places, even Amazon. I find that only having the more costly high quality, re-usable tool around -- actually, a set of various sizes of all such tools --
... is sufficient proof against, say, leaving the locking key in place on the last wheel to go on, which is invariably that corner which passes over the sewer grate at the sharp turn at the bottom of our hill, at precisely the correct location to swallow said key the instant it pops off the aforementioned last wheel to be torqued....
Funny!! But with any of these locks, wheel locks, trailer hitch locks, trailer tongue locks, just google how to break them and watch the video's of how easy they all are to break off with very minimal tools.
