Muteki Lug Key

[wscottl]

Does anyone know where I can buy another lug key for the Muteki spline drive lug nuts?

I haven't heard back from Rishie yet.

Thanks,

^^ i think youll be stuck forkin out the $40 for a whole new set of lugs if you lost the key..unless you can find someone who no longer needs theirs..

Hey. Yours broke didn't it. Mine did at least. Had to get a new tool ($20), and get it shipped 2nd day ($18). It arrived ground about 4-5 days late anyways, I have it now, and I've taken those pos things off. If you need it, I would be glad to maybe ship it to you if you wanna use it and ship it back to me... that is unless you want to keep using those lugs and that pos tool.

how did it break? ive only seem em break if the lugs were put on with an impact wrench (meaning, severly overtightened)

I didn't loose it, it broke. It broke putting the lugs on, with a torque wrench.

It split down the side, 250 miles from home after a weekend at the track. Luckily a 6 point 17mm Cressent brand socket slid right over the lugs and I was able to finish installing them.

I still need to remove my track pads and do a fluid change after I can remove these lugs.

lasermp5 - pm sent, thanks for the offer.

$20 is the same price I was quoted for a new key.

Yup. Same way mine broke... just putting them on myself w/wrench. So do you need the asap shipping, or will ground do ok? I'll get it sent out tomorrow.

Ground is fine. Thanks again.

While I was waiting for lasermp3's key to arrive, I thought I would try and repair the one I have. I like the lugs, just not the key.

After searching the garage for a few minutes, I found a small piece of tube that was pretty close to the O.D. of the key. A few minutes on the lathe and a weld later it was fixed....

It still fits the wheel and appears to be 100x stronger.

nice have a pic of how the orginial one looks? never seen these lugs or the key before

 

[lasermp5]

******* great lol. Oh well, just send her back I guess. Nice job on the custom fab fix. I thought about somethign like that, but my rims wouldn't allow it without tearing them up good... it's a pretty tight fit

Lug key arrived yesterday, it should be back in the mail to you tomorrow.

Thanks again.
