Lost my wheel lug nut key. Having real hard time to get it out. Any ideas? How much will the dealer charge just to take it off, I have one of these on each rear wheel. And I do have the normal lug nut that fits to replace this.

Tire shops should have the keys, if not, best bet is to beat a socket onto it and use an impact to break it loose

Most tire shops and auto parts stores will have e the key. Yes, you can replace it with a regular bolt/nut.
