I was removing wheel lock nut with a 1/2" breaker bar and part of the lock nut broke off.
I'm still able to grip the nut with the key, but before trying this, should I soak the nut with Liquid Wrench or penetrating oil and then loosen with socket and wrench or tire iron or electric impact gun?
I read the post and it was for those who could NOT grip the nut, I can grip it with the key lock but before I do, which penetrate oil and removable method should I use? Breaker Bar or Impact gun ?
impact gun if you have one. and it wouldn't hurt to soak it with pbblaster or something, though if you can get a good girp still, there isn't really any point
and why did you even use a breaker bar if you had an impact gun??

I was out of town, and I only had a breaker bar. Anyhow I used Penetrating oil and let it soak in , then I used the breaker bar only to find out that it gripped better tightening the bolt than loosening it. I couldn’t do it, so I went for the impact gun and it broke the key. The nut on the wheel has only the center groove, so a new Key can be used. Now I should go to a tire shop, maybe the dealer to get this out. Might as well remove all the other key locknuts and replace with original nuts.
^^^^^
no- they would rip them off with a generic removal tool or socket and you wouldn't be able to use them again.

Bought a Nut Remover set from Sears. Does anyone know which remover nut # I require for my rounded locknut ? The package says to use #13 for 19mm and I measured one of the other good locknuts I have to be 20mm.
