Missing wheel wrench

[itsbo1313]

I have the jack and the three straight pieces. I'm missing the wheel wrench/jack handle. Anyone know the part number, size or where to get one for less then $40. The dealer wants $52 for the set and $94 for just the wrench. All the local junkyards have nothing.

It is less expensive to buy an entire used kit than just the jack handle.

That's the one I found on ebay as well but it said it's not compatible with my vehicle.

Try downloading the app Offerup. People sell all kinds of random things on there. It's like Craigslist but better.

your local junkyard probably has a stack of them

I mentioned in my original post that the local junkyards have nothing.

nothing? no Silverado's, no sierra's, no express vans, no Yukon, Tahoe, suburban, escalade??? they all use the same thing, I find that rather hard to believe. especially when it's the same part used for 14 years.

I thought you were missing one of the straight sections for some reason, the lug nut size is 22mm

That's what I said, they told me the jack kit is one of the first parts taken.

that's just weird, must be the people that don't know where the jack is so they think they don't have one?

Well, it works on my truck.

I should sell you mine. It's sitting in my garage because I use a bottle jack instead. I'd just be too lazy to ship it

Should anyone else need one .

Although our 'jack pack' is complete, I picked up an extra 1/2" pull handle and socket to add to the kit. After torquing the lug nuts on the truck, and figuring any tire shop will be probably spin them on with an impact running on 1000 psi air, I KNOW that flimsy stamped-steel Chinese thing will never get a single lug nut off when you most need it to. I should probably include a length of pipe to provide extra leverage, but haven't done that yet.

And yeah, I do re-torque the lugnuts when we have to visit such places. They're usually 'close' at best.

I too have a complete factory tire irons/bottle jack for my truck and this for servicing the wheels:

Notice that it angles away from the fenders and wheel wells, nice!

We also torque the wheels or check the torque after tire rotations and again after 50-100 miles since these aluminum wheels always seems to come loose, at least 1 or 2 anyway. I leave the torque wrench at home though!
