    I finally tracked them down, they're made by Mcgard.

    I called them Friday and a nice lady in customer survive said to email her a picture of the locking nut and she'll find out which key I need to order.

    The replacement keys are about $17.

    It is a lot eas[er to go top a Pete dealer body shop, they can bring out their set and see which one you need, go to parts counter and order it.

    What if you've already been to 4 different Pete dealers that tell you to just cut yours off and order a new set because they don't have a clue as to where the sample keys are that they're supposed to have?

    Any NAPA, or a traveling tool supply truck has these as well. Lock nut sockets have been around for a while. Cadillac started the idea on their cars back in the seventies.

    Just an update on this thread. I called Peterbilt in Montgomery, AL and they wanted $537.28 for ONE talk about highway robbery. No I didn't order one.

    Even if you can source one for a reasonable cost I'm pretty sure you are going to be even more disappointed when you discover the bolt is seized to the nut and the whole darn thing just turns but nothing comes loose

    I contacted the company that actually makes them and they are sending me one Monday. I'm going to think positive and hope that that they are not seized
