GEN 2 Help! Gorilla like nuts spline socket split

[squeak11]

I was changing my wheels to my winter ones and half way through my rear wheel the socket split. I can't drive my truck until I get another one. Any ideas of which one fits and where I can get one? Also, the one that came with it was flimsy, is there a stronger one? TIA.

Thanks. Do you know if they damage the lugs?

Won't damage the lugs, but will damage the lug nuts. Not sure on what size you'll need, check before buying.

search lug nut key on Amazon.

Local tire shop probably has one...

Thanks all for the help. Crisis is over! AutoZone 8 minutes away has them in stock.

If the installation/removal tool split do you trust all the lug nuts that came with it? Not sure I would.

Sounds like the wheels were over-torqued. The proper torque for the lugs is 140-150 lb-ft. Also, using an impact wrench on the lug socket can and usually does break them.

They were put on by hand as I helped them install my new wheels. I'm 5' 5" and 155 pounds and broke it using a 20" ratchet. No impact wrench involved. Maybe I'm just freakishly strong.
