BTW - use a 6 point. Because of torque. ------------- Mike Carter 2015 178 " I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability." |

I found an article from a guy that contacted Forrest River. He said use a 21 mm. Well the was wrong. I bought a 21 mm and it was too big. Found a 19 mm and it fit perfect. ------------- 2017.5 RPod 179 2017 Jeep Unlimited Wrangler 2017 Chevy Colorado Z71 Off Road Crew Cab 2 Weiner dogs Great wife puts up with my BS ❤️ Thoroughbred Racing.

Rawest50, I'm gonna guess you tried it, but depending on the wheel design, some need a thin walled socket. The other sockets will fit, but are too snug in the rim to turn the lug nut. Just FWIW. ------------- Greg n Deb 2020 195 HRE '07 Tundra 5.7L., '17 Tacoma 3.5L. Both with tow packages 1 Puggle, 1 Chihuahua support staff |

Yes I tried it. The spare tire mount on the back is 20 mm. Removed it not issues. Then I went to the tire lug not and it was loose. I had a 19 but short depth. Bought the 19 mm long socket and fit perfect. All I will say is I am glad this experience happened in my driveway. Now I know what tools I need to have in my box. ------------- 2017.5 RPod 179 2017 Jeep Unlimited Wrangler 2017 Chevy Colorado Z71 Off Road Crew Cab 2 Weiner dogs Great wife puts up with my BS ❤️ Thoroughbred Racing.
