Wheel Nut Size? - jwrayth - 15 Jan 2014
I'll be getting the car out of storage in February and beginning the old MOT ritual. Part of that is replacing the hand-brake cables, so off come the rear tyres.
Unfortunately since my move to Scotland I've not got access to all the tools I had previously, so I'm wondering if someone can advise on what size socket I need to remove the wheel nuts? I've searched online but can't find a clear answer.

A 19mm or a 3/4 will fit the wheel nuts. (I'm surprised you don't already have a full set of sockets in a tool set already though!?)

Unfortunately my previous flat-mate used some of my tools without permission, and I've found a few things missing after moving (likely rolling around in the boot of his car!).
The one complete set I still have I know is too small for the DeLorean wheels, so Since I'm looking at buying some replacements, I wanted to make sure I got the right size to top-up the gaps in the larger set.

Sorry for double post, but I realized I forgot to say thanks! Cheers Rissy

Im pretty sure the standard tyre wrench, with its extending handle from Wilko's fits perfectly. ( but might be worth checking before you fork out your £5 or £6.)
