Lug nut wrench size?

[lightflyer1]

Need to know what is the lug nut wrench size or the size of the lugnut where the wrech goes? Can't seem to find it here. 7/8ths? 22mm? Standard lugnuts that fit under the plastic cover.

Mine is a 22mm

thanks!

7/8ths will work if you're in a jam but it's slightly larger than a 22 so you have more of a risk of rounding your lug nuts.

Your best bet is go to harbor freight buy a breaker bar and a single 22mm deep socket.

My HF store no longer carries individual sockets of any size. Sets only.

Box stores have a small selection at premium prices.

At least around here, Pawn shops have bins and bins of individual sockets. But you have to sort through and hopes to find the size you need.

What do dealers charge for factory lug wrenches? Or do they even carry them?

Do you have a Menards locally? They stock them for about $4-$7 depending if you get impact rated or short/deep

Amazon? Ebay?

eBay has OE lug wrench and jack handle sets.

eBay also sell individual deep sockets in 22mm https://www.ebay.com/itm/1662818010...LjSRVew5yIB+LcjWtmoLAhng==|tkp:Bk9SR7y07p_MYg

eBay is your friend @Mean_Green. I carry a socket and breaker bar with me.

If you’re going to order one, get the x shaped breaker bar with a different size on all 4 ends. You’ll have 4 in 1 tool, plus be able to spin the lugs on/off under torque with the wrench vs a combo of your fingers and the wrench.

I've grown to hate those things, too big and clunky for even the garage!

This has double ended sockets:

I like these too from Tekton:

Not a 22mm showing in any of that. Nice setup though if it works good. I have it covered now, I just didn't know if they were metric or not. Thanks everyone!

7/8" converts to 22.2 mm. Should fit nicely.

I used to use that EXACT tool to do spare tire changes.
I was a roadside assistant, did jumpstarts, refuels, and spare tire changes, so that the driver could avoid a tow.

Those sockets are good for those sizes.
There are also other double-ended double-sized sockets that it doesn't hurt to also have handy.

That bar ... that not quite 90° angle ... be careful with it. A bar with a proper 90° angle works WAY better, and is MUCH safer.

You are right about that but I don't touch any of that stuff anymore, it would do me in for sure! I have lots of strong young men around who are courting our daughters to handle such chores! It's there in the back of the truck so they can use it! LOL

I have the OEM one neatly tucked away in the left wheel well space.


I probably should get it out and try to run the tire jack down to make sure it works and I know how to do it. Never had one like it. Always had the spare (or donut) inside the cargo space.

I lower mine once a year and spray lube the cable and tire winch parts and check the spare tire pressure

The oem bottle jack is secured with actual nuts that require a 3/8 ratchet or ratcheting closed end wrench to remove. Whudda you thinking GM??

Either find the correct size wrench and secure it to the jack or remove the OEM nuts and replace them with wing nuts.

Where would this ratchet be used to remove the bottle jack?
