Ok so I've searched for this, couldn't find anything and I think this is the right section!

What do people find the best tool to use to screw/unscrew their long wheel nuts? I got some recently and the end is a bit too long for the wheel brace i've got to reach the pattern so I can't really use that. I ended up using a ring spanner.

Thanks!

Long socket with a breaker bar/ratchet/torque wrench. One of those cheap torque wrenches from supercheap with the built in ratchet would probably be a good idea.

I reckon any auto shop will have the right tool for you.

yeh i think a long socket sounds good.. I was thinking of doing that but thought there might've been a better option, ie. something actually made for long wheel nuts, but i guess not!

Thanks guys.
