This was my Dad's car, he passed away and now it has a flat tire. I can't get the tire/wheel off because there is a locking lug nut and I do not have a key. Can You advise me how to take this off? Oh, towing is not an option. Thanks

    There is a special gripping tool kit that most good tire shops carry that could do it. It is really, really hard without it.

    Or if you can't get that item to take it off, you could go to your nearest wheel shop and have them break it off. I had the same problem with a car I purchased in the past. I had the Goodyear store break it off for me.
