Wheel Brace/Wrench?

[leeds2592]

Hi all,

Just bought my 182 a few weeks ago, came to take one of the wheels off to easily measure the hub spacing and it turns out I don't have a wheel wrench/brace/whatever they're called. Tried my other halfs 206 wrench but they weren't shifting so need something a bit longer to get a bit more leverage I think.

Are these telescopic £5-£6 ones from eBay any good as there's loads for sale from different sellers and they all look the same?

Thanks

Get a proper breaker bar and some sockets.

I won't be keeping it in the car so it doesn't matter whether it folds or not so a good breaker bar could be a better option.

Any suggestions?

A 1/2in drive breaker bar from halfords or wherever will be fine.

600mm or 750mm best?

600 will be fine.

750 is good for really tight bolts if you plan on doing any mechanical work though.
