Lugnut removal tool

[Jackripper_83]

Anyone know where to get a new removal tool for the security lugnuts on a 1994 eclipse. There's no dealers nearby, so i'm hoping there's somewhere on the internet. I'm sure someone else has had this problem before. Mine stripped on the inside and fell into two pieces.

Unless it's insanely tight, you should be able to just pound a socket over the nut to get it off.

Tried, it just stripped out.

...No one has had this happened before or what? There has to be somewhere to get one online.

Like i'm going to trust a site that doesn't even say it definitely works for mitsubishi models. Plus, i'm not going to buy an entire kit when i'm selling the car in a month.

Yeah, because a Mitsu lug nut is SOOOOOO much different than a GM, Ford, Infinity, Honda that a security removal tool won't work.

Call a local tire shop, they usually have them. Go down get it taken off and drive back.

You should also be able to get a new security tool from mitsu with the VIN and your registration. Don't bi*** if it is more than $40.

Many people have, and those who followed were sly enough to use the search to find their solutions.

Oh, and they didn't bump their threads and get them closed, either.
