Lug Nut wrench - Land Rovers Only

TsiArt · 02-26-2007, 08:57 AM

Well i just finaly remembered the post of someone asking where the wrench is .

Well I figured that i'll show where my wrench is after finding it in the back door . I have my chain there now, and the jak handle is in the same pouch .

So i placed in a place that has the some logic

. where the wheel chuck are and the jack .

Good place for the wrench. You'll also want to find a place to stow a 3 foot long piece of 3/4" galvanized pipe. If you slip this over the OEM lug wrench it will not bend (they all do!) and you'll have enough leverage to break the lug nuts loose. I stow my "helper" across the rear compartment just behind the rear seats.

I have no problem with taking the lug nuts off , cause I'm little over 200lbs and i can jump on the lug wrench preaty good ( takes practice LOL ) .

And i even managed to take the lug off when i got the truck and they probly were impacted on by some red neck .

taking the lugs off was not a problem , the rims did not wanted to budge . I have a tool for that . I'll need to take a pic of that

My OEM lug wrench (2001) started to bend like a pretzel when I leaned on it hard.

I would suggest a breaker bar & socket. 1/2". You can also get a hub-nut socket in case you ever have to pull a cv/shaft. The leverage sleeve is essential for the hub-nut... a hi-lift jack handle does the trick.
