Default In Need of a Wheel Brace

Hi all,

I went to bleed my brakes on the weekend and discovered that my Crossfire is missing its wheel brace. I therefore couldn't take the wheels off!

Would anyone have one they don't need that could be posted to me? Send me a PM to work out a price and postage cost etc.

Otherwise, do you know what other Chrysler or Mercedes vehicles had the same wheel brace? I might be able to find one locally with that information.

Many thanks!

My dear USA centric mates, a wheel brace is what you use to loosen the wheel nuts with!

A lug wrench, also known as a tire iron or wheel wrench, is a tool used to remove and tighten lug nuts on a car's wheels.

You could use a "Breaker Bar" with the correct size socket if you are in a hurry.You could also post an advertisement in the forum market place.
There are also plenty on fleabay. I know that you probably don't need the whole kit, but here is an example:
Wheel Brace AKA Lug Wrench or Tire Iron
