Wheel lock 'key' broke....need to know thread size.
Hey guys, I had my wheel lock key break while tightening down the last wheel and now I'm SOL if I need to change a tire.
I'm going to call McGard today, but I need to know what the thread size of the JK is so they can send me the right replacement.

Stupid McGard keys break on every 4th use, get them off with the new key and sell the kit on Ebay, or have them send you 10 keys, because this won't be the last time.

Just so you know... keyed lugs are useless. If you lose or break your keyed socket, you can do this In a pinch: get a slightly smaller socket and hammer it on the keyed lug... whalla.

Thanks guys.
I think I'll take your advice and stop using them when the key gets here. It was important to me before the Jeep was garage kept, but now not so much.
