I bought a 2002 ES300 about a year ago and just went to get new tires, and realized I did not have the lug nut key.....whats the easiest way to get a replacement?

In case you cant find a replacement, when i bought my other vehicle it cost me 20$ per wheel to remove the nut locks at a tire shop.

Your local dealer should have them all to match up to your vehicle. If not, there is an index card in the owners manual portfolio with the information to order one directly from Mcgard. (thats the company that makes Toyota/Lexus wheel locks.) |

Several companies make sockets that remove wheel locks. Here is the version from Mac Tools:

Mine was removed at a toyota dealer for 45 bucks. |

I normally use a 12 point deep well chrome socket metric and find one that almost fits and tap it on with a hammer and use an impact to remove it or a breaker bar or 1/2 ratchet if you dont have air. To remove the lug nut from the socket use a punch or screwdriver and tap it on the ground form the top side of the socket and it will come out.
