Delboy52 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I've just got a replacement breakdown wrench and they are for 21mm wheel nuts. I have new locking nuts that are also 21mm, but my current wheel nuts are 17mm. As an alternative to replacing 16 perfectly good wheel nuts, does anyone know if there is a socket adapter that a 21mm wrench fits over to drive a 17mm nut. Google didn't help.

barneybrendan Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 swap the socket end the other way around normaly 21mm one side and 17mm the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delboy52 Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 Thanks for the link Scott. Would do the job but costs similar to just replacing the nuts. Maybe one of those sockets has a 21mm hex cap on the top part to fit a 17mm nut. If I can't get just one small part to do the job I'll probably just get some bigger nuts and be done with it.

The link Scott posted might be around the price of new nuts, but you will still have the wrench long after you sell the car with its new nuts.
