Factory Lug nut Key? Need to pull a tire.

[TimT]

We've already solved this once in the past year....

A bunch of nitwits, doofuses, malcontents and Navin Johnson wannabees

FYI I do not have a Porsche factory key to fit that.. I do have some others with different geometry

I tried the "I took a photo and want to send to the dealer" approach and they said "we need the car"


I'm thinking a flat bed tow is the only way out of my mess..............and then there's the $2K in tires to replace...........sigh.

Is the hole so big you can't plug it?

That absolutely works in certain circumstances.

Years ago I bought a Ford ranger that had lock lugs but no key. I had an acquaintance that had a checkered past. He told me, "go buy a 15/16", Craftsman, six point, regular (not deep well), pound it on with a hammer and then take it off with a breaker bar." That absolutely worked for me. I'm not sure that I'd want to try it on my Porsche of there were out better options.
