lug wrench

[stonemaster]

tried searching but no luck
sources for replacement lug wrench
14 mm

found something that may work from an ATV supply but wonder if any other members had sourced this

Many of us us a 6 point deep socket and a 16 -18" breaker bar.
Problem solved.

Where would one get these? My lug bolts are like a BB in a boxcar in these aftermarket wheels.

Most any place that sells aftermarket wheels should be able to get lug studs.

I bought "Gorilla" brand from a place that had them in bulk.

Hope this helps.

As for the original posting.

Years ago I took a cheap 4 way lug wrench that had one end split open and cut the offending end off. I then used a grinder to whittle it to a square 1/2" so I can use any size 1/2" drive socket that I needed to.

Got mine at Pep-boys. Searce , 'cause theres a thread on the subject on here.

Do a search using "bolts studs" as the search parameters, in the "Custom, Suspension, Brakes and Wheels" forum.

I can get screw in style studs from amazon, and it's what I have on my aspire. Just be sure and used some red locktite when you screw them into the hubs

thanx for all the replies guys
a 9/16 will work as well

Most of my OEM lug wrenches have been bent useless from trying to remove alloy wheels that jobbers put on with air guns. The advice about buying a breaker bar/extension/socket is good. I now keep a dedicated ratchet in the car for that purpose.

VW wheel nuts have larger heads (17 or is it 18mm?) and have ball seats instead of cone shape but I've been successfully using them on my hub centric Ford wheels for months now.

17mm is correct. But once you switch to studs instead of bolts there's nothing stopping you from using ford/mazda/honda/chevy just about any US or Jap vehicle lug nuts. 60* taper seat and you're good!
