I NEED HELP!!!!!!!! I've owned these rims since new. I 've never had any reason to remove the rims from the car.So here it goes----Yesturday I had the pleasure of getting a flat on the car.When I decided to repair the flat, I was'nt able to remove any but one lugnut. I BROKE four lugnut keys trying to remove the others.With NO Success.When I inspected the one nut I was able to remove, it seemed like the nut and rim had rusted and became stuck.So far I've tried penetrating catalyst(skrewloose)BUT BROKE ANOTHER KEY......Any help appreciated,thanks.
 
not to be bringing back a three year old post from the dead but i got your solution. Air hammer. air hammer it off in the counter-clockwise position, with the hammer bit placed in the key grooves. we do this all the time in the shop. hope this helps, although i am sure you have it fixed three years later :rocks:
