Default HELP! - Spare tire removal

I feel silly but I cannot find any information about this in the RAVE or on the forums. I'm trying to remove my spare tire from the rear door carrier but one of the lug nuts holding it on is an odd one. I'm hoping someone can confirm my hunch and offer some advise on how to resolve it. I'm afraid it's a standard lug nut that has a broken cap, unless there's a special LR tool:




Any suggestions on how to get this sucker off?

You should have a white box thats in the trunk in that shelf next to the subwoofer. And in there, there should be a wheel lock which will attach to the tire iron and then that will take the lock off and you're good to go. And when putting the spare back on do it with the door open otherwise it mounts crooked.
