Hey I found out i have no tuner lug key for the car i bought! Now I need to take them off. K its like a big allen key thing. I looked for the biggest size at stores but the only one near was a 10mm and I need a 12mm. I’ve tracked a 12mm in europe on ebay but that takes time to ship and I need to take my wheels off now. Any thoughts? will post up pics of the tuner lugs shortly ---

It’s most likely a 14mm, Canadian Tire sells them as sockets. ---

what I did for mines was use a rubber hammer and hammered in a socket just a bit bigger than the nut and turn it with a breaker. ---

yeah i think I got a hex socket or somthing from home depot and smashed the shit outa them to they would fit, then used a rachet with deep sockets and a metal tube for more leverage. Worked great thanks ---
