helllllllllllppppppppppp broken wheel nut tool

[neal1]

i broke my wheel nut tool tonight, it fits the skinny rss wheel nuts, iv been looking everywhere and cant find one, i need one asap as im getting new tyers and i cant get the wheels of

Crap design!

Same thing happend to me m8... I had to go round a load of shops and most dont sell them, its the alloys maker you have to ask but i managed to get one down at halfords as they had a returned kit. I paid a lot for it though

I would get yourself round some wheel shops and ask

iv just rang jay as hes got the same wheels as me and i can get them from ebay, hes going to give me the link when he gets home

 

[Mr.Negative]

BTW... I'm guessing u've done what i did with this by putting a lot of force onto it in one direction with a bar / L shaped this was what broke mine.
I now use the L brace if I have to but only with a spanner on it to push it up and to push down so that its level and not pulled off the nut at an angle. I would always recommend using the star tyre where possible and using both hands either side of the brace

Yeah!?? I looked everywhere at the time and couldnt find one even on there. Post it on here if you manage to find the right one please

Could u not use a left threadded socket and wind it onto the nut then turn the otherway to undo it? That's what I had to use when I got the gsi as it had two sets of locking nuts on but I only got one key!

[Alex]

I just know what to look for

Nah in all seriousness it's just cos i knew what the type of wheel bolts you have are called. They're called Tuner Bolts, so just stuck that into ebay search

 

[neal1]

well you know more than me i just thought they was bolts, now i know they have a name, i will name everyone of them now

 

[kompo001]

I have the same socket as that for mine, never had any trouble up to now, but will watch how tight I do the bolts up next time. Might even get a spare now I know where to get them.
Thanks for the info.............
