| Where to get spline drive lugnut socket
Does anyone know a place where I can buy one? making this thread since I need it asap.
I bought a set of black Spline Drive lug nuts from Kal Tire, and the socket cracked.
They gave me a free replacement but then found out it wasn't the right fit for the lug nuts.
Went to another Kal Tire with a few of my lug nuts and they didn't have any extra sockets.
My front rims are bolted with the spline drive nuts and need to take the wheels off. Car is stuck with my autobody man. So I'm in a rush to get a proper socket.
Any shops or wheel places that carry them?
I'm done dealing with Kal Tire..
thanks in advance

I was in the same dilemma some time ago, I called quite a number of shops, but the only one which seemed to stock spare keys was AbbSry.
I tried Lordco, Wakefield Sperling, Napa, Alder Auto, and Kaltire when I was looking for one. All offered to order one in for me, but only carried complete sets.
Posting a picture of the specific key you need might be helpful, since there are quite a few different ones..

I've only tried Kal Tire at this point.
Physically went to 2 locations and called another location, they just offered to have it ordered in.
I guess I'll call some places tomorrow and hopefully get a socket that actually fits.

I have 3 spline drive keys in my hand from Kal Tire
Got a replacment, bought one, and got one for free from them to try.
Right infront of me the guy tests the socket on the black lug nuts in the box and fits perfect.
I take it back to my car and it didn't fit, wtf.

Volco may have them. They usually carry a generous amount of tools...
