yea 1991 eclipes i got used a used car lot. When i got the car I never asked if they had a key for the locked lug nuts. well recently i hit a curb and i broke 3 of them off and the other 2 are still stuck on And they are right next to each other so i really cant drive my car till i get them off. Is ther any way i can get them off with out a key?

one way is to use a rubber mallet to hammer on a TIGHT fitting socket on the lock then take it off with a breaker bar. The only bad thing about this is that you `ll never be able to use that socket again. Kind of a one time thing. or you can take it to a tire shop. They usually have a mechanics set that has a series of common lock keys

Locking Lug Nuts

I use a chisel like the other person answered,
but I hit it on the edge and use it to unscrew the lug nut with each hammer hit,
it works really well but takes some time, this also works on lug nuts that are rounded off.

get an old lug nut and mig weld it to the lock lug, then let it cool and take it off as normal, easy job takes 2 minutes. Works awesome.

See if you can find a turbo socket from your autoparts store. This socket will have splines in it that bits into the lungnut when you try to loose it. Just hammer the socket on and use a breaker bar to take the nut off. Goodluck.

Pipe wrench(stilsen) big enough put on lugs as tight as posible handle to play left. hit wrench with a heavy hammer 5 pound sledge...till broken loose then remove wd-40 on threads...do the same on other nut!! lug!!
stilsen wrench what plumber use...or you can freeze lugnuts and bustloose with regular wrench and pipe for leverage(Be careful)
