Snap-on tool

That snap-on tool works, but destroys/damages the lug nut. Try one of the reputable tire stores for the "proper" socket.

That is a cool socket, but I don't feel like replacing all 32 perfectly good lug nuts. Gorilla Co. will sell my dealership the key for $10. I unfortunatley don't have a Discount Tire Co. around here so they are my only option. The other chain store that I will leave unnamed said "what'chu wanna steal a (racial slur)'s rims o somthin"....
I really don't understand it here, thank God I transfer next year.

So, did the dealer give you the key to keep, or did THEY keep it to insure you HAVE to come back?

They're YOUR locks, YOU should have a key to take them off, no matter where you are in the country.

They gave me the key. I had purchaced the extended plan that includes wheel and tire service, so I don't care how many times I go back. I left the truck there for a day and the general sales manager gave us his Mustang GT convertible for the day.
