I installed the McGard wheel locks on all 5 wheels after rotating them this past weekend, a small but important detail that's easy to overlook is that the hex size for the key tool is different than the stock lug nuts - which means that unless you have the correct socket and cheater bar, you won't be able to get your wheel off if you have a flat tire. The stock lug wrench won't fit it.
The stock lug nuts are 19mm, so is the stock lug wrench (obviously). BUT, the hex size of the key tool to fit the wheel locks is larger - 21mm (a 13/16" socket actually fits better). I picked up a short breaker bar (1/2" drive) and put a 1/2" drive 13/16" socket in the stock Bronco tool kit along with the key tool so it's there if needed.
