Wheel brace support

harryopal,

I picked up a device in the Narrelan toolbox called a nutcracker, it has a reduction gear to get truck nuts off 68/1 from memory & works great.

These things make it easy Tyre torq wrench

If you or someone you know is handy with a welder, you should be able to knock one up pretty easily... We have one at work for resting the torque wrench on when doing up wheel nuts on trucks

You could go to Supercheap & buy a screw type saftey stand, used for supporting a vehicle when you have it jacked up & want to work under the vehicle. I have used one of these & find it works great. I have also used a hydraulic jack to support the outer end of the wheel brace when undoing truck wheel nuts. That works well to although would be better with a small V shaped piece attached to the top of the jack for the to sit into.
Hope this helps. I have seen the one you have mentioned but cant remember what it was called or where it was advertised. You might try a truck parts & accessory retailer.

Thanks for those tips. I will follow them up.
Safe driving.

Hi Harry

Check out the 12V impact wrenches that are around. Articles on EO as well. Quite impressed with ours.
