So I have never owned wheel locks until I bought my 05 X. It has a security package which includes wheel locks and air bag locks. Boy, I feel pretty safe hehehehe.
So, I was starting my lift tonight, get the rear up, pop one locking lug nut off, do one of the fronts, get to the other side front, and the lug wrench gives a little. I pull the wrench off and pieces fall to the ground. So now I have a broken lug nut, broken key, and one other lug to get off. Stopped by a piece of SH** locking lug nut and lug nut key. I had a free rotation coupon from Nissan and don't know if they cracked it or if it was just waiting to go.
Will be buying an wheel lock removal socket tomorrow. Ugggg...I didn't know locking lug nuts were such trouble. Read several threads on other sites where others crack and break these, which is where I learned about the special sockets.
If you have locking lug nuts, don't get stuck on the side of the road. I would get rid of them now.
OK, rant over. We return you to our regular programming..........
