hi to all.
i recently bought an iroc from a friend, and i'd like to take the mags off, but they have 4 regular nuts and 1 special (i think is anti-theft) nut each wheel, and neither i nor my friend have that special socket to remove it.
is there anything i can do to get another one? or something?.
thanks again.
Fernando.

 

A friend experienced a similiar problem. He took his car to a tire/wheel shop. There they had a socket-like device that they drove onto the lug nut; then they used an air gun to remove. Worked quite well. I've been told, though I have no experience, that the same can be done with a normal socket.

You might try a 12 point socket that fits real tight on the lock, or have a shop do it.

 

thanks to all, its done, using a hammer and cheesel, slowly and carefully, they came out and no damage to the mags, tanks to all for your imputs.
Fernando.
