hey guys Chris fix here I need to
replace the tires on this car but we
have a major problem you can see we have
a locking lug nut and I do not have the
key so how do you remove this without a
key well there is a toolkit for that so
let me show you how it works first grab
the centering guide and place it in the
hole where the lug bolt sits then use
the provided drill bit with the hardened
tip and the centering guide centers that
drill bit so you could drill a hole
directly in the middle of that lug bolt
now once you drill into the lug Bowl
about a half an inch then we can remove
the guide and you can see the hole is
centered but we have all these metal
shavings so vacuum the shavings out to
prevent damage to the wheel then grab
the extractor tool which you can see as
hardened ridges running the length of
the shaft and push that tool inside the
hole and place the driver over the
extractor and Hammer that extractor bit
as deep into the hole as you can until
it bottoms out then get a torque wrench
set to 110 foot-pounds and loosen the
extractor without clicking the torque
wrench beautiful and with that broken
loose now we can remove it the rest of
the way by hand and this extractor bit
is reusable it just has to be removed
from the lug bolt so that's how you
remove a locking lug bolt without
damaging the wheels
