Need to go to a tire shop, or Vanderhall dealer if close enough, to find out which one you need. It should have come with you ride. Some people find them rattling around in the holes under the seats.(12-08-2022, 03:40 PM)RustyTeeth Wrote: I'm getting from others that a regular socket is not that easy to fit as there is little clearance. And not enough for an impact socket. regular one barely fits. it is a heave tool. I would get one. mine (lugs) 2022 Venice are recessed in there pretty deep. Now that I think of it I should go see if all my lugs have the proper torque settings. will post the value after i research it lol! This thing reminds me of a impact socket.
Oh, I see. And here I thought theses things (lug nuts on a wheel and the well it sits in) were pretty
much standard on similar passenger vehicles. But of course not ! :-(
I tried my impact sockets and none fit (these sockets are not metric).
Since I already know better as to (on Vanderhall) TIGHTEN just about every bolt and screw I find,
now I will have to hunt for a lug wheel nut socket that fits.
