Fifty Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Hello Changed my rear pads today and broke my socket extension bar undoing a wheel nut! Also splayed my 19 mm socket.(non std nuts) Question whats the tool you guys carry to get your wheels off seeing as the toyota wb is too big btw brakes at least 50% better with CW rear pads on board and so easy to do! 52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim_supra Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I carry a 1/2" wrench with a 19mm alloy wheel socket i got from halfords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomer Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Got one of these from Halfrauds http://www.tool-catalogue.co.uk/images/69661_V-WM17-19.jpg Comes with a 17mm and 19mm reversible socket and the handle extends to make it dead easy to get enough leverage. Worked a treat when I found that the Toyota supplied wrench slipped over mine. Looks like we all have odd shaped nuts!! http://www.tool-catalogue.co.uk/tools.php/products_id/4277 Cheers, Chris.

dangerous brain Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Yeah that !! I got the extendable lever. I needed to get a seperate alloy wheel impact socket as the standard ones metal walls were too thick making the normal socket too big for the alloy wheel nut access holes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 You can also get different size sockets at Halfords which have a plastic coating to protect the wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hole is that small on mine that I had to cut that plastic off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
