Save your money and go to Sears and buy a 1/2" breaker bar and a six-point socket (19 mm?). Throw it under the back seat. The stock ones are useless on rusty nuts or bolts. 19 mm is almost exactly 3/4". You might be able to find a big old Cadillac lug wrench that would work. A metric cross-wrench would not free the lugs on my Westy. I don't think the tires were ever rotated (except going down the road!). The Craftsman breaker bar worked like a charm. Jay |
