small wheel nuts

[Lude]

just put new wheels on car, and they came with nice smaller nuts

 

 

the garage have put them on, but i cant undo them with my standard brace,

 

 

i did have smaller nuts before and they came with an adapter, are these available?

 

or do i just need to find a new brace

Are you saying that they're too tight, or that the head of your brace doesnt fit the nut?

 

Have you tried a socket and breaker bar?

[Lude]

the brace is bigger than the nuts.

 

 

the nuts look like special smaller ones, not sure if normal braces will fit them, well the standard supra one doesnt.

 

 

i should have a socket which would fit it tho, just want a brace for the car....

Sounds like the garage have fitted non-standard nuts; maybe something like the Muteki nuts that have splines in them

 

If they are'nt the type of nut you could fit a socket onto, you will need a key of some description. If you're sure they have'nt given you one, or left one in your car without telling you - take the car back to the garage and find out what the score is

i would think a socket should fit onto them,

 

will check tomo...

sound like 12mm nuts to me. I bought a spider wrench from Halfords which has a different size socket on each of the 4 legs so I can undo most nuts now.

just got my sockets on there,

 

a 11/16 fits on, so looks like they are just 17mm nuts,
