Spare Tire Locking Lug

[SchoonerDriver]

Well I went to go take my spare off to find that there is a safety lug so I couldn't get the thing off. Could anybody help me with getting this cursed thing off like if there's a certain tool I need or lug key to unlock it? It's the OEM spare. Thanks!

The lugnut key should be with your jack set in the rear swing door.

If it comes in the small pouch on the top of the jack set it seems to be MIA. :gaah:

A local tire store should have a tool to remove security nuts. It is a special socket that bites into the metal of the nut.

Alrighty. Thanks Rascole!

I think you're going to have a hard time finding the one that the H3 uses.

and yes it is supposed to be in that small pouch. Or at least that's where mine was.

Otherwise check glove box, center console storage, rear storage cubbies, loose inside rear door?

Maybe a GM dealer can order the lug nut key?
