Locking lug nut

[Jessica19699]

Hello im going on on a limb here basically since it seems questions on here dont get answered anymore well at least the last few i posted didn't , so i am hoping someone might now what this is i have a locking wheel lug on my corvette that didn't come with a key to remove it when i bought it and im not sure what kind it is , i been to many local tire places to ask for help to remove them but no one has seen this type or have a key to help out , they have been telling me that the lug will need to be drilled out and replace which will cost some pretty good money, please let me know if anyone out there has seen one of these lugs before and what they might be called and maybe where to order a key from? thanks in advance

To answer my own question the issue has been fixed for little money without drilling out the lugs.

That one sure is different. How did you get it off?

After taking it to a dozen different companies who couldn't help me the last one had the idea to take a slightly undersize socket and beat it on each one and they took them right off

That was a good idea. Glad it worked out.

Mid 70's I bought a 71 Vette that had wheel locks and no key. I worked for an earth moving company and the head mechanic said bring it here Saturday. He sticks a big chisel in the pattern, smacks it with the hammer 2-3 times and then turned it out with channel locks.

Sometimes you just have to show these locking lug nuts who's the boss.
