Wheel key broke

hey, well my wheel key broke, not stripped, the stupid little star inside literally broke in half. i read some ways on how to get them off, but do you know what size socket to hammer over it to make a snug fit? i was also thinking about super glueing it on there for more strength, or even the loctite weld stuff that supposedly can hold over 300psi

also, anyone know the torque specs for the wheel nuts?

Take it to a tire store near you. They will get it off and you won't ruin one of your sockets. The local Les Schwab removed one of mine and didn't even charge me for it.
