Default Broke the Lug Nut Key for a 95 ES300

Went to rotate the tires and I stripped the bastard clean off. Where can I find a replacement key?

well, if you want a new one, youre gonna have to contact mcgard, and provide them with the necessary information in order to receive the correct key. or like i did and most everyone else, just get them taken off at a wheel shop and replace with regular ones(which i still havent done yet). where did everyone else get their original stock extra lugs from?

goodluck

my lock nuts stripped out and the tire place couldn't get them off... The
only thing that worked was a 18 mm 12 point socket hammered on and a
racket to loosen it .

Did the same thing recently. Went to Lexus parts and showed them the broken one. They matched it up with their set in seconds and ordered one for me. Took about a week and twenty bucks!
