I imported my 2nd hand jap import vehicle from Japan through a dealer a few weeks ago, but have only just realised I cannot find a lock nut socket anywhere to get the wheels off? I'm worried that I will need to get the wheels off at some stage but won't be able to due to lack of a compatible lock nut socket :(

Is this something that the dealer will be responsible for sourcing and procuring for me?

Hi there,
You could ask if hey could supply a lock nut set.
You may need to see a tyre shop and they might have a lock nut tool that matches. Or they can take the old ones off and supply a new set. (not expensive)
The Japanese owners may have misplaced it and not put it in the car when inporting.
