Default Well, I broke my locking wheel nut key

It sheered right off in the nut. Anyone else experience this? I torque all my wheel nuts to 76lbs.

It can happen. I haven't had it happen on my GS but I have other vehicles in the past.

Was it the 1st nut or the 5th nut you took off when this sheared?
