Lost my lug bolt key

[Stl-986]

Go to any tire installer, they will have a key to remove it.

Recently I used a 12pt 11/16" socket and hammer method to get my locking bolts out. Worked way better than the 19mm rounded nut remover tool I bought.

Good afternoon everyone,

Like others, I thought I had lost my lug bolt key as well. I looked everywhere imaginable, except where I found it - in the pocket of my spare tire cover, still in the plastic bag waiting patiently for me to put it to use. I will, one time only. Then I’ll put the 4 new lug bolts on instead. For those who have been asking about the part number for this little headache, it’s JD04402 - at least that’s what is printed on my plastic bag. Big thanks to the previous owner who saved everything associated with my boxster.

Thank Lowski, I was able to get 3 out 4 using your method with 12pt 11/16" socket . The 4 lock lug is on so tight that striped the 11/16 a bit and not biting . I could try to bang in a 12pt 17mm socket. The lt400 25 is too big to fit into the Victor equipment rim. I don't care about damaging the rim as I have a spare rim. Any other ideas on how to get it off? I went to Porsche they told me that the key are discontinued and no longer available. The Porsche mechanic at Porsche has a master key set but missing 3 keys and of course mine is the one with the missing key. I'm hoping I don't have to take it to a shop to get it drill out.
