Problem with Kyokugen lug nuts!!! Anyone else???
I used Kyokugen light weight lug nuts when I got my CE28's about a month ago.
Yesterday, I went to take my wheels off and a few of the lug nuts got stripped along
with the special tool used to remove them. When I returned to the place I bought them,
they gave me a new removal tool and told me that they knew about the problem with
the tool and gave me a new one!
Now, the problem is, I have 2 lugs on one wheel that are stripped and I can't remove them!!!
Has anybody else experienced this??
How do I remove these two stripped lug nuts???
Thanks!

Get a socket that is slightly smaller and hammer it on. That's what I had to do to get my locks off after loosing the key.
Now I have three locks stuck on 3 sockets.

I've had the same problem with these lug nuts and the (revised and the older version) key they provide. Sorry to hear about your two stipped lug nuts, I hope you can get them out without having to hack away at the studs . Can anyone recommend another brand of conical type (sp?) lug nuts?

Spoon's aluminum lug nuts, I can recommend without a hesitation but they are rather pricey. About $6 each.
I never had any problem and weighs almost like paper.
Sorry to hear about the kyokugen lug nuts, I was going to try them after I sold Spoons' but now I may have to think of going back to Spoons'

Thanks Randy, I totally forgot about the spoonies. I guess the $6 per lug nut had something to do with it . I guess I should get me a set before I get stranded on the side of the road with lug nuts that I can't take off .
