My Wheel nut wrench has ogne walkies. Bought a new one from halfords but on getting home noticed it says "for 17 and 19mm nuts"

Now i'm assuming thats standard for todays vehicles but this isn't a modern machine! And I have a suspicion that this wrench is unsuited for the job I need it to do. Wanted to double check first before taking it out of the packaging cause if it doesn't fit it's back to halfords with this for a refund!

Can anybody shed any light on this situation? Also the nuts on the mini aren't proper mini ones at any rate, which is the reason I need the wrench so I can replace them all with these

Wheels on my mini are standard stuff I believe, see pic:



though if I'm honest there seem to be a bewildering array of different wheel nuts!

the nuts on my 89 are 17mm

Are you sure ? .... I was sure that they were 11/16" (17.4625mm)

standard mini whel nuts are 11/16th and 3/8th unf thread.

I hate having to take mine off. One socket doesnt fit all, I end up using 3 different sizes!

its brill at work we have the impact gun hung up on the wall and only 2 sockets hung up with it 11/16th and 3/4 for rev nuts lol

so the wrench should work or is it slightly too big?

[Surfbluegarage]

like martin (mra) stated before 17mm will just about fit or will certainly fit on a worn mini nut and 19mm is just about 3/4 so yes it would work realistically but if u want to be picky there nto correct.lol

I guess this applies then

17 mm fits mine fine, with the same wheels too
