Mk 2 Cupra Sport Standard Wheel Nuts!

[mickyggggg]

Hi guys I recently went to fit some mudflaps to my car, however when i got the jack out etc an tested the wheel nut spanner it is too small to take them off!!!

Does anyone know anyone or have one spare or where I could buy one from to take off my wheels as obviously I need one for any emergencies also!!

thanks guys!

Havent you got a decent socket setwith a extender bar? ive always used that then got them torqued up after, Failing that you could always go and buy a wheel brace from any autoparts shop?

No I wish I did!! I just assumed it would fit its my own fault but im glad to find out now than in a emergency when I would really need to use it!

I was contemplating a wheel brace but since the jack is knakered also I figured I would try and get a hold of a SEAT Jack set!?

Could do, Ideal in emergencys but bloody hard work, Ever tryed jacking up a high top tranist with one at 8.30am

17mm socket should fit if this helps, assuming standard wheel bolts.

You can get a cheap extending wheelbrace with a double ended 17 / 19mm socket from Wilkinson for about £4. As Peter says, it will be 17mm if it has standard bolts, and likely to be 19mm if someone has converted it to studs.

have you checked to se if the wheel bolts have got 'covers' on them?

a mates Rover had plastic caps over the bolts to make them look nice !!!
