Breaking wheel licks without a key

You said the key broke, can it be welded back??

Tried to BFH the shit out of it and where it was cracked it just kept bending back and sliding off. I don't know anyone with a welder that isn't owned by the Marine Corps so probably can't go that route.

Discount tire will do it as well.

Beat it on there, use impact, beat it on there, use impact, and so on. Although I didn't just post that on the Internet.

Just use a pair of Vise grips! Lock them down and turn but make sure u keep the other lugs on tight first!!

In the past I have hammered a tight fitting socket on over the top of the lug nut. It worked for me, only problem Is trying to get it out of the socket when you're done.

This, but use a 12pt socket. Used to do this often at the garage. To get the lug nut off, put the socket in a vice and hammer a pin/screwdriver through the back of the socket onto the nut.

Finally got it off. Took about an hour of pounding and grinding. Funny after I got it off she remembered she had roadside assistance and could get it towed to a shop for free.
