Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have deeeeeep offset rims and can't reach the wheel nuts with the wheel brace I have (one of these ---> +)

I have used a good quality socket set, but it wasn't mine and it was $$$

Its a real PITA, what do others use or suggest

Thanks

Dan

i use my knuckles too.

i was thinking of cutting off the cross brace and welding it further outboard, so i can reach my nuts without skinning my knuckles

Drill a hole in the other end (Through the other socket end) and use a bar through it... like the old tube spark plug spanners

12v impact wrench
makes it easier to change too....

Cut your wheel brace, sleeve it with some O/size tube, drill some holes in the tube and rosette weld. You could weld the ends of the tube to the brace also, depending on the brace material and who welds it, but the rosette welds will hold no matter what.

Surely DAN you have a socket set ...............if so just go and buy a big farkin extension from local toool traders.............( i did read bout you havin ya mates but com'on wat do ya use wen you work on ya rig)= ya mates maybe



If not just do as 54 said and mod your existin wheellin brace

I dont think my socket set is strong enough for wheel nuts. Its an OK set for what I use it for but ..................

The one I used that worked well was JKs

Ahhhhh shaddup

with both of my wheel braces they scrape the tyre when taking the nuts on or off, but i am still able to change the tyre.

just go to a tool shop but a braker bar and long extention then u dotn have the mess round with ur wheel brace

I agree. socket, extension and a breaker bar.

Wheres the fun in that? What mods can you do to the breaker bar?

yeah its already all chromed up.

nah i recon thats the way to go. less stuffing around.

spend the time mod your 4x4

Go the breaker bar and extension. And just to keep 54 happy, a gold paint pen and put some GT stripes on it

All sounds a bit bling for me... a rattle can camo job would suffice...and paint the sockets red so ya don't lose them.

all will be sorted soon hey dan

i use the wheel spanner out of a 60 series for mine.
