How screwed am I?

[u/Capable-Temporary-68]

This is my first time changing my tires (2016 civic) im assuming I put too much force into the wheel lock key that it kinda snapped inside of the nut? I can order a replacement key easily but what do I do about half the key being stuck inside the nut? Thanks.

If you don't mind getting a new lugnut then grab a grinder and cut a slot in it then get a big screw driver and get it off.

Alternatively you can just get a socket that just barely doesn't fit over it and hammer it on then undo it with a breaker bar.

Or grind some flat spots roughly opposite each other and use a wrench to get it off
