RE: Zr2 spare tire lock(i'm an idiot).
Well i dont' mind sacrificing it and putting a standard locking lug on there...but i'm a little worried i'll ruin it but not get it off LOL

I bet if you just give it one whack with a hammer it will come right off as there isn't much holding it on ...
Just stick the key straight in and pull hard on the chrome piece , if that doesn't work take a screw driver and put it in the key hole and give it a whack ?

Curious as to why your using WD40? It is worthless unless you want to remove glue. WD stands for Water Displacing- 40th attempt. Use PB Blaster to free up rusted nuts and bolts. Use powered graphite to free locks.
If niether of them work. You have one other option. Beat an impact socket on it and use an impact gun to get it off. If that isn't and option, dig out the drill and plan on being there a while.

Well i got it off... hammer, chisle and some serious cursing and about 10 minutes later it was off It was not in vain either as I was able to use the spare to isolate my bad tire. Hopefully it's just out of balance and doesn't need to be replaced. I guess i'll know tomorrow.
thanks for the help as always!
