Damn I missed the first cruise of the year. I just had foot surgery so I can't drive for a couple more weeks. Anyone know when the next drive will be

Hey guys, can anyone care to chime into how I would go about taking the right lug-nut (shaped like a clover) out of my wheel? I don't even know how it got there, all I know is that there are one on each of my wheels, totaling to 4. I really need to rotate my tires, I'm like 5k over due lol fml.



edit: Just did some research and found out that the lug nuts are called "McGard" Wheel Locks.

The key should be in the trunk on the right side in the foam under the floor board or possibly in the glove box

Edit: the key is a socket with a similar pattern in it. Looks like this

Im pretty sure a 1/2 deep socket will work if you do not have the key thats by the spare and scissor jack. You will have to smack the socket over the lock a couple times abd just get a ratchet to take it off.

They arent in your trunk? I have the same wheel locks on my FRS and my key is where my trunk towhook is. Also you can ask a dealership to take the lugnut off, that way you could avoid damaging anything.

Thanks for the offer but I did some more research and found out that my sister's car has the same exact "McGard" style key, so I used her's and rotated my wheels.

did you buy your car brand new at the dealership? If so they should have provided the key with your car, and if you really can't find it you should ask them for one. It's great that your sister has one that you can borrow, but you don't want to get stranded somewhere without that key if you get a flat tire or something.

Hmm, you're right. I'll probably pay a visit to a local Subaru Dealership this weekend and maybe buy a key. Thanks for the input!
